As such, when you Spark, it is generally to set up an illusion. You get extremely focused, and must still spend a Point and do some construction, but you do it very privately and quietly, usually with at most one highly trusted assistant such as your wife. You do not publically rant and rave the way other Sparks do -- "control" is the watchword of the skilled magician. Your Sparking is always in the service of setting up a trick.
You will mainly enjoy success when setting up illusions and tricks. Examples of your work include: making small objects float in the air; devices to very briefly mask your movements with stealth so that you can trap people with chains; and clouds of smoke wherein you appear a hundred feet tall. None of these involve terribly complex science by Spark standards, but they are always conducted with a maximum of showmanship.
Insofar as you do Intimidation, it is always coupled with your Illusion work: you set up a trick to make yourself scarier to your mark. In rare cases, if you manage to do the right Illusion, with a very personal impact on the target, you may be able to Intimidate people who are not otherwise intimidatable.
