Alright so my wonderful misfortune starts off with my garage door breaking and having to wait 3 weeks to get it fixed. My s13 is obviously garage kept and stuck inside now. Finally got the garage fixed and I go to start up my car and it won't do anything, no lights no sound nothing. Simple fix I thought battery was dead... I was right, charged it at oreilly tested good and put it in the car. Go to start it and get power, doesn't crank it only clicked and popped like if I blew a fuse. Checked all fuses and tried connecting the battery again. Now I get a huge arc when I touch the terminal. Thought it had something to do with the starter and changed it. I get power, no arc but doesn't start only clicks. So now I think it's the ignition switch, before changing it I decide to bang on the column where it's located and it tries to turnoverbut them does and the starter gear just stays spinning! Didn't stop spinning until I disaconnected the battery. Tried it again and I have the arc and spinning again :( HELP

Have you checked all engine bay grounds? Could be a reason for arcing possibly. Not sure about the starter continuing to spin though.
