You need to pick up Force and Destiny. There is both the Heal/Harm tree, the Protect/Unleash tree, and the Bind tree.

Lightening (should you wish to describe it as such) is in the Protect/Unleash tree. Be advised it has an FR 3+ prerequisite, so you'll probably want to go with the Specs that have multiple +1 FR talents in the tree so you can get there in a sane amount of time. Plusing up with something like Emergent might be wise too.

Understand, in this system the force is very XP expensive so you really need to figure out exactly what you want and then how to actually get there. If you go in saying "I want all the force powers" yeah... you're gonna be disappointed, because while you can buy them all, you'll likely never be powerful enough to really get much out of them.

On the other hand if you pick the top powers you really want, you'll be in better shape as you'll have the extra XP you need to put into the skills, talents and trees you need to actually back the power up with.
