Template:Sideicon Ramuh's Judgement Bolt attack inflicts lightning-elemental damage to all enemies. It can be used by Dagger. Like most summons, Judgement Bolt has two versions: long version and short version, with the long version being stronger. With the support ability Boost the player can always summon the long version unless it is a counterattack as part of Dagger's Trance.
Judgement Bolt is likely the first summon attack Dagger will use. Its damage can be boosted by having more Peridots in stock (see Summon (Final Fantasy IX)#Mechanics for damage formulae).

Etymology
Judgment, in religious connotations, is used in the concept of salvation to refer to the adjudication of God in determining Heaven or Hell for each and every person.
Thunder is the sound caused by lightning. Depending on the distance and nature of the lightning, thunder can range from a sharp, loud crack to a long, low rumble (brontide).
