But since there are multiple spoons and other metal items in the microwave, couldn’t these items still arc off of one another? I don’t actually know the answer, so I’m asking seriously.
Oh definitely. Individual metal smooth ball, fine. 10 of them not touching fine. 9 spoons not touching, fine. But if one touches the wall of the microwave or another of the objects there will be a quick spark, and depending on how long the contact, maybe a flame+
