Well, as a physics college student, the science behind this theory is rather... shaky. You are seeing Lightning far too much like a substance. Chakra doesn't "become" lightning, or any element for that matter. It simply emulates the nature of lightning. It is still chakra. Lightning's nature, whether you want to view it from a bagua view point or a science view point, is excitation. That's why the chakra paper wrinkles up. If you look at Black Lightning, especially in the anime, you will notice that it looks really congealed, like a huge mass of energy gathered together like an extremely viscous liquid. From one point of view, I'd assume this is because a potent form of Yin Release is being applied to the Lightning Release, giving it the black color and being responsible for it becoming congealed rather than expansive. It gives the lightning form and shape, rather than mere bolts of excitation. Since electricity is the result of a transfer of energy between electrons and a whole thing with charges, it is impossible to apply the same science that would fit such a case with chakra that merely emulates the nature of lightning.

If you want my advice on the matter, I'd refrain from using that logic, but my word counts for very little these days, so... Yeah, I'll just leave it at that. Thank you for explaining your logic with the theory though, I appreciate your time.
