See Jaya Ballard.

Jaya's related common card

­Magma Spray extended to hit players but costing {1} more. The comparison with Incinerate, which even had Jaya Ballard flavour text at one point, makes this look pretty sad. But Yamabushi's Flame suggests that 3 damage would be a bit much with this rider for 2 mana... hmm...

Also, on a non-mechanical note, the name "Jaya's Spark" made me think the card was somehow going to be a card version of Jaya's planeswalking spark.

yes the name is intentional. i thought about her PW spark but how would that translate to game mechanic? turn a creature into PW? add loyalty counters?

ideally we would have the flavor text somehow fit both meanings.

it's somewhere between carbonize and pillar of flame.

the chained veil has been revealed. so the spark can be changed to 1. the second ability of the veil or 2. copy an activated ability. if the source was PW, put a counter on it.

whdt ya'll think?

The second choice is okay. Copying spells is something red can do, so copying abilities should be fine. Put a loyalty counter on it struck me as odd, since most red spells remove counters (i.e. direct damage), but it actually makes sense: you rile up the Planeswalker and their magic is enhanced.
