{If, in point of fact, Spark could shock things, it would already have charged the shocker, or had it pre-charged by an already-installed capacitor. Being as it doesn't have an electroshock weapon installed, it cannot use one. The taserpike works by an enchantment and a few bits of technomancy. Spark's got lots of technomancy, but can't enchant things, not being a magic user. You could easily add an electrostunner with a few days of work, but it hasn't got one. Redundant redundancy is redundant.}

((Redundantly making redundant redundancies.  But, it seems reasonable that Spark could recreate things that it has seen before.  Such as said electropike.  It's got a tap on a mana battery.))

[Amperzand]

{It probably could, but not over the course of seconds, while fighting somebody. Give it parts and a few days, it could totally build and mount a taser. It couldn't make the electropike, since it requires enchant-spells to function, which Spark cannot perform.}

{Was busy, and also waiting to see if Fish had anything else to say. No longer busy.}

The Stranger clumsily strikes at Spark, hitting its left wing and knocking it to the side, where it skids along the ground with a series of clanking noises, before pointing his left hand at Foreman Murdoc, the extended forefinger glowing with ultraviolet light as some dark spell begins to gather.

[TheBiggerFish]

Spark recovers with a couple flaps of its wings, and attempts to bite said finger right off.

[Dustan Hache]

*he would move his arm back in twoards his chest, protecting his casting hand from being bitten and knocking away spark with another swing as it lunges*

[TheBiggerFish]

Spark, having achieved his objective (disrupting the necromancer's aim and spell), curves away, barely escaping a further collision, before taking a position that would allow easy biting/slashing but require the unknown person to shift focus away from Murdoc should said person wish to whack said construct.

(Nothing said it was disrupted, or even cast yet. It is still charging.)

((It's harder to aim when you don't have a visual, is it not?  The same is probably true for casting.  And given the way Amp described the spell, it needs to be aimed or it will, y'know, miss.  Though this is, once again, a debate threatening to become interminable.  Uuuuugh.  AMP, YOU NEED TO CLARIFY MAGIC AGAIN.))

[Amperzand]

{You always need to aim or in some way target a spell, unless whatever you just did is so indiscriminate it doesn't matter. In this case, the whole pointing thing was mostly flavor-text. The cast itself won't blow up in your face if you don't keep it on target the whole time, though face-blowing is always possible with magical mishaps. In this case, a breach of concentration would probably dissipate the spell, though he need not necessarily have ceased concentrating to dodge a bite. I can only hope this answers your question.}

[Chevaleresse]

While the necromancer, Fish, and GM argue about aiming spells, I try to find the nearest corner or outcrop, hoping that the spell is line-of-sight or projectile-based.

[Amperzand]

{Just FYI, he just got disrupted, so it's not really going to hit you soon, and you're almost certainly still within melee range of him.}

*taking advantage of the dwarf taking cover and spark having been recently batted away, he would quickly get to his feet and start to run away again, reaching and trying to activate the lift*

Spark will deactivate the lift and, as the necromancer is facing away from him (probably), attempt to give the necromancer a concussion.
