When applied to a Trident, the Channeling enchantment allows the trident to summon lightning from the sky when thrown at a mob.

Unfortunately, this enchantment only works when the player is inside of a thunderstorm. However, it is extremely strong and can save the player from dire situations.

Channeling also allows for easy creation of Charged Creepers, which only appear when a Creeper is struck by lightning.
