IF i would have taken the time to think about it, I would have realized I was wiring the thermostat wrong, because of course, a thermostat is just a power interrupter. It makes sense that the two screws are an in and an out on the same wire. Not thinking, I connected the black and the white each to a screw.
Arcing is neat.
