This is certainly possible, and the actual creation of the invisible spheres
is generally irrelevant.  The one piece of tricky physics that you need and
I dont have is the transition of air from an insulator to a conductor.  Im
sure google could supply information on this, but im not sure how simple it
would be.

Everything else is simple algebra, just given charges and locations, the
forces between them are the inverse square of their distances.  When ever
the intensity reaches a certain threshhold (i hate english), you can use
the electricity macro directly.  It would just be a simple wrapper the
macro needed to be in.  Almost all the hard stuff is already done, if i
understand correctly.
