[ SLANG ][ GACHA CULTURE ]
The guaranteed pull mechanism in a gacha game that lets a player exchange accumulated in-game currency for a specific desired character or item after enough unsuccessful pulls, functioning as a fallback insurance system.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Spent the whole banner grinding, ended up having to spark for the character in the last few days."
LORE & ORIGIN
Standard gacha game vocabulary for the currency-exchange pity system, distinct from soft pity's gradual odds increase — spark is a hard guarantee via direct exchange rather than improved luck.
