And for the cherry on top, place a sphere primitive at the top of the bolt prop, stretch it and flatten it to suit, and add a cloud material to it and fiddle with the shape and transparency until it matches the sky. And if you want to show the strike points, and have Vue 5, then place a cylinder under each stike point, give it a glowing material in the correct color, then carefully sink it into the ground (or whatever) so that only a tiny sliver is visible; enough to see, but not enough to identify it as a prop.
