Q: What was "static electricity" known as before the discovery of electricity?

Gavin42People must have dealt with static electrical discharge for thousands of years; well before they began to understand the principles of electricity. What would a static discharge be called in early modern English and old-English?

I guess there's just something in the air. . .
