It's a gamble whether or not you will become a Jager instead of dying. But is there any downside to actually being a Jager?
Other than a quite likely monstrous appearance, and general mistrust from normal people, then yeah, winning the 'super power or death' lottery has few downsides.

Remarkable dynamics between the two in the last panel. Priorities—and drinks.
Jaggerism seems to come with IQ loss, though. At least for the first 500 years or so.
I just ran the Sorting Algorithm of Deadness for Violetta and it gave me about 2.1. Which means "Be Back Soon".
"In distress", my ass.
Of course, there's the question of whether or not a Spark can be changed by the jaegerdrought. We already know regular slaver wasps don't work on them, though becoming a jaeger affects more than just their mind (which is presumably why slaver wasps can't take hold, because Spark heads are wired differently).

Well, Tarvek has just really cemented his worthiness to have around to another General.
Because that sounded like more than a single round at the pub being offered.

Tarvek just made me want to cry. 😢 Poor guy.
And I think Tarvek on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge would be the scariest Spark alive.

Really! If we thought Agatha and the organ were bad, Tarvek and a hat pin on a tear would make you want to emigrate to . . . almost anywhere else.

Man, Tarvek's gotta run out of room in his Fridge eventually.
If you followed Othar's Twitter (back when that was a thing), you know that there was a version of history where everyone was in Tarvek's fridge.
Oh, so he does have the room then.

Really, do you expect a Spark in full blown Madboy mode is going to let little petty details like Euclidean geometry stop him?

Especially since part of a Spark's schtick is they make 3 pi?

Considering that Tarvek singlehandedly saved the anti-wasp weasel squad, he doesnt give himself enough credit.

That could be as dangerous as the jaegerdraught!

Except not to someone with Tarvek's training and background. He knows all the poisons, even the nonfatal ones. You want to underhandedly give Tarvek a dangerous drink? Stick to alcohol.

I wonder what his reaction to Agatha-brewed coffee would be. 😇

A high probability that you'll die instead of getting any of those things.
