[General] strike lightning from my eyes

[Marina Gaidar]

"- Is it true, everything they tell about you? That you’ve come from the Cursed Forest and that you practice magic".
" - Well, I will tell you if I learn how to strike lightning from my eyes".

In this context does it sound ok "to strike lightning from my eyes"? I don't really like preposition "from" here and I doubt that "strike" suits here, too.

No, it doesn't sound right if you mean "to emit a stroke of lightning from your eyes". Lightning strikes in the sky. I wouldn't say that the sky strikes lightning (though some might).

So how would you say that in other words? It is, of course, shouldn't sound normal for real life, as I'm talking about a fairy tale.

Anything is possible in a fairy tale- fairy tales do not obey the laws of physics.

True, but they usually obey the laws of language. Intransitive verbs don't normally become transitive.

I would say "shoot lightning from my eyes."
