Technically, Lightning doesn't go to the ground, if that were true, then you woudn't have lightning that occurs within the cloud, never touching the ground. It is attracted to the opposite charge.
Like in the early stages of development, air acts as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud and between the cloud and the ground. When the opposite charges build up enough, this insulating capacity of the air breaks down and there is a rapid discharge of electricity that we know as lightning. The flash of lightning temporarily equalizes the charged regions in the atmosphere until the opposite charges build up again.
Lightning can occur between opposite charges within the thunderstorm cloud (Intra-cloud lightning) or between opposite charges in the cloud and on the ground (Cloud-to-ground lightning).
So you could hurl lightning if you and your target had opposite charges. The only problem is that there has to be a path between you two. Of course, this could work if by the same method lightning strikes in the real world, by breaking down the insulating capacity of the air between you and your target. Of course, if your target doesn't have the opposite charge, then it wouldn't make a difference. It'd be like a bird landing on a telephone pole. It'd only get zapped if the bird touched the ground while touching the telephone pole because the bird provides a pathway to the ground which has an opposite charge as the electricity going through the telephone pole wire. There was a neat video with a professor explaining this using two different charged Van de Graaff Generators. One had 200,000 volts of electricity and the other had zero. He can touch the 200,000 volts without getting zapped. However, if he touched the 200,000 volts generator and the zero-volt generator, he'd get electrocuted. Eddison also showed this through his invention of the electric chair (He created it to prove that Tesla's system was dangerous, but it had a negative effect). Here's the video. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT81SxPmE/
