The Five Thunders in Daoist Technique differ from the Five Elements Thunder Technique, not consisting of the thunders of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, but rather Celestial Thunder, Earth Thunder, Water Thunder, Divine Thunder, and Community Thunder.
Celestial Thunder governs the four seasons of the heavenly order, exorcising demons and monsters, and dispelling epidemics and plagues.
Earth Thunder governs the creation of all things, nourishing crops, and clearing away mountain spirits and stone goblins.
Water Thunder controls the rain summoning thunder, calling wind and rain, and mastering the Water Mansion.
Divine Thunder is primarily for killing, destroying altars and temples, and punishing the wicked and removing evildoers.
Community Thunder has a broad duty, primarily ensuring peace under heaven.
