    Keep in mind that Girl Genius is set in a steampunk fantasy world with tons of weird science. A heterodyne is basically a wizard who uses technology to actuate his magic.

  10. Alan you mean a spark. Sparks are the technology wizards in Girl Genius. Heterodynes are a particularly dynasty which the main character Agatha is descended from (this isn’t a massive spoiler one finds this out early in volume I).
