 Spark magic is the type that lends itself most straightforwardly to damage and destruction. Energists are often called in when something needs to be demolished or burned, or for jobs which might call for an ability to attack people - guards, police, soldiers, and so on. Spark magic is the type that lends itself most straightforwardly to damage and destruction.

-Most constructive applications of Spark magic involve moving heat around, and while this can be very useful it is also, if needed to be done constantly, often boring and exhausting. The abilities of elementalists and alchemists in metalworking mean that energists are not generally required in smithing, but wealthy [[culture:ethnicity:ghyezramsi:|Citadelites]] will hire them to take charge of heating and cooling in their dwellings, or to preserve food through refrigeration. Many energists, however, prefer to pursue occupations unrelated to their abilities.+Most constructive applications of Spark magic involve moving heat around, and while this can be very useful it is also, if needed to be done constantly, often boring and exhausting.

 Any magic type may subconsciously, or unconsciously, use their magic in an uncontrolled way, especially under stress or when feeling threatened. Energists, however, are particularly noticeable when this happens, since they are capable of damaging people or property entirely by accident. One of the more stimulating, and frustrating, occupations for adult energists in the Citadel is as a babysitter and teacher for energist children - or as a minder for an emotionally unstable adult. Any magic type may subconsciously, or unconsciously, use their magic in an uncontrolled way, especially under stress or when feeling threatened.
