Digital lightning bolts traverse dark gradient background

High-contrast digital render employing sharp, branching electric discharge patterns. Luminous gold-to-orange fractal lightning structures emanate across deep brown-to-black gradient field. Particle effects distributed throughout medium; fine sparkles concentrate along primary and secondary bolt paths. Gradient transitions from pale yellow-orange apex to saturated dark red-brown edges. Technical composition uses glow mapping and additive blending to simulate electrical energy propagation through high-voltage charge paths.
