I haven't tested anything with the Knight's Crossbow yet, but imagine Gael's Repeating Crossbow with Lightning Bolts. I'm guessing Lightning Storm isn't a projectile, doesn't touch the ground, or is already considered an AoE because Lightning Stake has the AoE, and that the WA doesn't count as a projectile, because Ornstein's Dragonslayer Spear WA does leave the AoE. The 2 things I've seen that don't leave the AoE are the Lightning Storm miracle and the WA of the Nameless King's Dragonslayer Swordspear. It seems that any lightning based projectile will leave the same lingering AoE upon contact with a surface submerged in water, including lightning miracles and Dragonslayer Lightning Arrows. Makes sense that water conducts lightning, so I experimented a little. I just discovered while PvPing in the Anor Londo Water Reserve that my Lightning Urns left a medium sized lingering AoE upon impact with the water. It seems no one has written anything about this, so here goes.

Lightning seems to be effective againsts bosses using sword/axe/halberd/scythe/vessel (excluding Dragonslayer Armour and Nameless King, as theyВ attack mainly with Lightning) and enemies with no armor.

In line with Lighting Urn description, all dragons are weak to Lightning.

In contrast to Lighting Urn description, there are knights resistant to lightning.

Champion's Gravetender & Gravetender Greatwolf.

Any hollow/undead, that does not useВ heavy armor.
