Where is the high voltage return path in a plasma ball?

It's right through your finger down through the left leg into the big
toe and off to ground via your shoe.


But the HV generator isn't grounded. It needs to get from me back to that
somehow. I looked inside one and only one wire leads from it, to the
centre of the sphere. Where is the other one?


Its a really camp toy - you're not supposed to understand how it works.
