Trivia

 * The Tesla Field buff does not have a definite duration; instead, the Tesla Coil itself manages the buff, adding or removing it every 10 seconds. As a result, if the player loses their Tesla Coil while the buff is active (such as by scrapping the Tesla Coil), the buff persists indefinitely for the rest of the stage. However, since the player does not actually have a Tesla Coil anymore, the buff will not cause the player to fire any lightning.
