Before I state my idea I know that I don't have the Town Hall for Dark Elixir (will in four days), but from reading the forums I see a common complaint about Lightning Spells and Dark Elixir. Also I looked in the ejected ideas post and didn't see this idea.
What if instead of Lightning Spells taking Dark Elixir when it hits the storage, it takes Elixir? The thought behind it is Lightning in the real world changes somethings when it strikes, it does always destroy.
