I'm modifying the source code to make a new element called CROD (Control Rod). It uses the life property to become less effective at absorbing over time, and I want it to switch between "high absorption" and "low absorption" states.

I added PROP_CONDUCTS, but it won’t spark. After testing, I found that elements with life > 0 can't spark. Is there a way to allow sparking while still using the life property?

Also, is it possible to make sparks invisible by default without relying on decoration?
