Thousands of flaming lances stabbed the night horizontally, creating the halo of glowing purple known to electrical engineers as the "corona," a sign of wasting power. The crackle of sparks intensified, culminating in a fierce explosion, as a broad, jagged ribbon of blue-edged white flame leapt across the room from electrode to electrode.
