/**
 * One proc for easy spawning of pods in the code to drop off items before whizzling (please don't proc call this in game, it will destroy you)
 *
 * Arguments:
 * * specifications: special mods to the pod, see non var edit specifications for details on what you should fill this with
 * Non var edit specifications:
 * * target = where you want the pod to drop
 * * path = a special specific pod path if you want, this can save you a lot of var edits
 * * style = style of the pod, defaults to the normal pod
 * * spawn = spawned path or a list of the paths spawned, what you're sending basically
 * Returns the pod spawned, in case you want to spawn items yourself and modify them before putting them in.
