A fire in a hearth and a blazing inferno that eats a city alive have the same starting base, but you wouldn't compare one to the other in terms of power, would you?
Imagine that, and add to it the idea of harnessing it for yourself. Not as mages do, calling it briefly, but wielding it like you would a knife. Though I would not call it biddable, precisely: it's still dangerous, and it would be foolish to underestimate that. Nor is it a pet. It can, and will, kill you if you handle it wrong, and trust we will go over that tomorrow.
What of your world? If electricity isn't familiar to you, what is? Or is it similar to this place in terms of technological advancements? The magic is a wonder, I suppose, and the sociological implications of magic are interesting, but I find it rather primitive overall compared to what I'm used to.
