The Sparky Points is one of the Trident Weapons in Baldur's Gate 3. In BG3, each type of weapon has different ranges, damages, and other features (Finesse, Versatile, Dippable, etc). Characters need to master certain Proficiency before using a weapon, and sometimes gain a special Actions while holding it.
When Yrre the Sparkstruck was asked why they'd created a trident twice their size, they simply replied, "The question is - why not create another weapon with spikes like lightning bolts?"

How did they fail on this weapon?
No charges gained if thrown.
No +1 to hit or DMG.
The other two have perks.

A +1 weapon gives you the same benefit with no windup, and you can get a +1 version of every melee and ranged weapon act 1. A +1 weapon won't electrocute the user when he is accidentally standing in water. Unless you are aiming for a specific build that requires lightning charges, the best of the three rewards is the spellsparkler. Casters have very few options in the game that give them both a bonus to hit and bonus on damage on cantrips and spells. Warlocks especially benefit from something like this, as its very common for them to combo scorching ray with hex at low levels, and it helps with eldritch blasts.

picked this up as i was going for a throwing build for once, sadly, does not give charges on throw attack, so it only remains a sub par reward, the staff is far more usefull especially since EACH hit of magic missile gives 2 stacks

very good with barbarian berserk! (litereally the best reward!)
1. first turn get frenzy then attack an enemy NOT WITH THE TRIDENT! WITH THE EVERBURN!
2. second turn you can now use the enranged throw so throw it and gain 2 charges what give you +1 attack role and +1 lightning dmg (you lose 1 charges per turns) and already nullificating the enranged attack penalty (-1 attack roll) + the enemy is get prone so break the concentration and taked the half of the movement! also the 1d6 dmg :D
3. use your action and attack the enemy! you deal 2d6 +1d4 fire +1 lightning dmg
4. you can pick up again and do again the things and after 4 throws (in the 4th turn) you can deal +1d8lightning dmg!
so 2d6+1d4fire+1d8lightning = medium 12-18dmg
the point is you get off from the -1 attack roll penatly what the enranged attacks do and also iat every turn deal +1lightning dmg and in 4th turn (5th) +1d8 lightning damage! also prone the enemies at every turn!

Least useful among the 3 rewards. No enchantment. Quickly replaced by more superior melee weapons. Better to pick either of the other 2 rewards. The Joltshooter at least can be universally used by any build and anyone in the party as a secondary weapon and for accumulating charge. The Spellsparkler is amazing for spellcasters that are using lightning charge builds especially magic missile.

Ok. I know you all say the weapon when thrown doesnt give the charges. But I was getting them. Later I saw I wasnt while in combat. I did some testing to better understand why I did and then didnt. It is not a bug.
This is what is happening:
All gear that is part of the lighting charges theme set stack. As in they all give you the, lets say "charge counter". When you ONLY have this spear equipped and NOT bound(as in auto returns to your hand reequipped) the game doesnt give/hold the charges. They are instantly dropped. Because nothing at the time is giving you the charge counter. If you do have any part of the set (boots, gloves, armor, ring etc) on and throw this weapon. You will GAIN charges. Because you have something giving you the counter stat. Now if you have the spear bound and have another part of the theme set. When you toss the weapon for attacks, it will give charges and then return to your hand.
So yes, as long as you have something else of the set equipped. The game will give and hold charges for spear being thrown IN combat.
