I did not see where Mashima stated that this lightinig is an explosition thing. It would be so mugh better if he explained how it works instead of flashback. But it was good chapter, we see that Laxus can come up with tacticks based on knowledge about enemy's powers. Lightning turning pure explosition force reminds me of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 where explosition and necromancy and reccuraction were based on earth magic. Laxus as expert of lightning magic after a year of training should have learned some advanced lightinig spells in case lightning will not work. So this chapter seems full of logic to me and only lacks better explanation about MBP and how new spell works exectly. It would be better if red lightning would fall from the sky with giant explosition because ultimately we got another "strong punch" like in battle with Jura.
