-Not all sparks are created equal, and if you come to understand and control your Spark, the effects make grow stronger and more intense over time. Perhaps you start off lighting a small flame in the palm of your hand, but a few months later your launching fireballs across an abandoned parking lot. During the course of the game it will be possible for your spark to become much more powerful. This could be exciting or terrifying -- or quite possibly both. +Not all sparks are created equal, and if you come to understand and control your spark, the effects may grow stronger and more intense over time.

-When your spark manifested, it came with a weakness. Whether it’s that exposure to copper makes your power useless, or that if you hear the word ‘pescatarian’ you collapse for five minutes, or your new water-breathing power means you can't spend more than a week out of the water, there’s something to do with your spark that acts as a significant weakness. This might be something related to your ability to use your spark, or maybe it's a downside that effects you when you're not using it. **Tell us about your weakness**.+When your spark manifested, it came with a weakness.

 For some people, using a spark isn't all plain sailing. X-ray vision sounded useful, right up until you found yourself with a splitting headache whenever you use it. Your spark is powerful, but it comes with a price. The more you use it in a turnsheet, the more of a cost it exerts. Will you manage to strike the right balance? **Tell us about this cost**. For some people, using a spark isn't all plain sailing.

-Someone – a friend, a sibling, a neighbour – knows about your spark. Either you told them, or else they discovered it somehow. They are able to act as your secret keeper, someone you can talk to about Spark issues, who supports you. **Tell us who your Confidant is, how they found out, and how they support you. +Someone -- a friend, a sibling, a neighbour -- knows about your spark.

-Take this Quirk if you want it to be possible for NPCs to initiate romance with your character. If you want to have romantic interactions with player characters, make sure you take account of character age, and check the player is comfortable OC first! See [[Style_and_tone|Style and Tone]] for more info on this aspect of the game (and the careful handling it requires given the age of PCs). +Take this Quirk if you want it to be possible for NPCs to initiate romance with your character.
