You gather a planet's atmospheric charge and release it at a single point. A storm covering the target region forms and discharges for hours. Tier IV power grids in the region are crippled. Substations, fusion taps, and orbital tethers within range fail and need years of work to replace. Every Tier III or lower vehicle, sensor, and weapon in the region is rendered inoperable. The local weather is permanently destabilized and produces storms for at least a decade. You cannot cast Arc spells or use any other Arc effect for one year afterward.
An apex spell. Casting it takes class level 20 and Rift Affinity 6, once per long rest, at the cost of a level of exhaustion and a Surge Table roll, as Apex spells in the Rules sets out.
