Spark likes to break things;{{book ref|sa3|107}} like other ashspren, she wants to know what is inside.{{book ref|sa3|27}} She does not like the term "[[Dustbringer]]", which is the name commonly used for the Radiant order that bonds to ashspren, and may prefer the name "Releaser".{{book ref|sa3|24}} This may be partially due to the similarity of "Dustbringer" to "[[Voidbringer]]".{{book ref|sa2|36}}

Spark blames the [[Knights Radiant]] and their devotion to [[Honor]] for the killing of hundreds of ashspren and is seeking vengeance.{{book ref|sa3|107}} Malata also expresses skepticism about the Radiants.{{book ref|sa3|27}} [[Taravangian]] questions Spark's willingness to help the Diagram with certain activities that may contradict the desires of other spren, but Malata assures him that Spark is resolute in her convictions.{{book ref|sa3|107}}

Through her [[Nahel bond]] with Malata, Spark gains increased sapience in the [[Physical Realm]] and presumably an increased ability to manifest a physical form. The bond also allows Malata to [[Surgebind|bind]] the [[Surge]]s of Division and Abrasion. The surge of Abrasion presumably allows Malata to manipulate friction,{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} although she has not been seen using this power. She has been seen using Division, which can cause objects (even living things) to degrade, burn, or turn to dust.{{book ref|sa3|107}} The powers of Dustbringers have been referred to as "dreadful"{{book ref|sa2|36}} and [[Pattern]] seems to believe that they inevitably start destroying things.{{book ref|sa3|27}}▼
Malata is also able to summon Spark as a [[Shardblade]].{{book ref|sa3|24}} Spark's Shardblade form is likely similar to other Blades on Roshar since [[Dalinar]] sees it on several occasions and does not comment on its appearance.

|Never mind what the Radiants did to Spark’s friends, never mind that organized devotion to Honor is what killed hundreds of ashspren in the first place.

According to the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]], Dustbringers were the Radiants most likely to accept the group's cause. Taravangian searched the Diagram's ranks for someone who could bond an ashspren and felt fortunate to have discovered Malata.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}} After Malata bonded Spark, she was suddenly elevated from a lower rank into the upper echelon of the organization.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
Spark and Malata were conspicuously absent during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]]. Since Malata had been tasked with operating the Oathgates, [[Teshav]] mentioned their absence as the reason that additional Alethi forces could not reach the city.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Additionally, the Diagram sent a strike force of [[Singer]]s to Urithiru,{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} although it is not confirmed whether or not Spark and Malata allowed them passage through an Oathgate.
