	However, it should be noted that in the circumstances stated above, even though lightning cannot be summoned if the mob itself is hit by a Channeling trident, they are still ''affected'' by the lightning if it strikes nearby. For instance, if a Channeling trident hits an [[Minecraft:armor stand]] next to a creeper in water, the lightning is summoned as normal, and the creeper becomes charged from being in the affected radius of the lightning.
