How do I do an electrical dissipation effect?

I want the electricity to appear and dissipate on something...

like a tissue paper being burned, it has little worm like glows moving through it... hope I'm describing this well.
 
After Effects has a lightning preset. You can keyframe the origin and direction of the strike to move it around. That's the easiest way.
 
Lightning filter on an adjustment layer, put masks on the layer and animate your masks according to the desired pattern of dissipation.
