Compared with disruptivly operated systems, cw
operation leads to completely different spark
apperance
where coil magnetic field   might have more impact
(if)

If you have sstc which runs continious wave you can
make exp. with  wires  of various lenght attached to
coil terminal (in order to move arc more or less away
of coil B-field) and seek for possible change.

But for classical ,shock excited coil you can make
similar experiment attaching longer and longer
conducting lines to a toroid (of course, you'll have
to retune each time).To my knowledge , degree of
"forking" wouldn't change a lot(bear in mind  magnetic
field decreases so fast-in a cubic fashion as you go
away of coil). And if spark shape and direcion change
, it will be due to change of external E-field and ,if
varied ,BPS employed.It's all in electrostatic field
control when it comes to these things .Therefore
toroid choice  importance.

As concerns other arc apperance the differences
between CW and classical TC arcs are incomparble in
many aspects not just becouse of significant peak
voltage levels leagues,corresponding proportional
exernal E fields , for  same imput powers but becouse
of time scales of arc life.Mode of operation matters a
lot.

No need for quantum physics I guess.
