-1000 volts of electricity for a prank stick? Dude, 1000 volts is enough to cause internal burns and fuck up the nervous system. Again, I know people here have Aura to protect them in the long haul, but as Ren demonstrated during the JNPR vs BRNZ fight, people can still feel the shock of electricity. And that's enough voltage to cause some legit pain to someone who had active Aura, as well as downright injure anyone who doesn't. If Aura doesn't prevent pain or the sensation of being shocked, then you don't need to up the voltage over a regular prank stick just to affect other students. Gonna have to stop you there, Ray. Voltage is a measure of electrical potential, basically how much electricity will move when the current is set loose.

1000 volts is... basically nothing. 1/25 the voltage of a weak tazer, if you're lucky it will penetrate a few millimeters into fabric. Amperage is what causes actual damage, and represent the intensity of the current.
