Lightning Boy is a Praxian Spirit.
Lightning SPEAR is an Orlanth Subcult. Or at least that's what I've been running with.
Lightning Spear is a subcult of Orlanth and provides an affinty.
However one of the local clans has a shrine to Lighting Boy and
he provides a stand alone feat -- but his time constraint is much
less
than the subcult would be. But that's my campaign, of course!

Thunder bird is one of the Three Feathered Rivals and provides Lightinng powers but Lighting Boy was 'Wrested Away from teh Grim Sky Gods' -- as far as I can recall the quote.
But I think that both would provide spirits for fetishes. A 'lightning bird feather fetish' might be contain a very nasty spirit. Intergrating a lighting spirit into oneself might let you toss the things around rather casually.
One of the reasons why Animists *can* be very nasty customers indeed!

Passion spirits (coming in Anaxial)are designed to affect you when they possess you. Intergration is something different in that it becomes a part of you, properly *intergrated* into your body and spirit.
Probably wouldn't cause flaws if it was done successfully. Not
unless
you were a Telmori intergrating cat and deer spirits.... Of course if
you failed to intergrate it properly, you might have some troubles.
