(My mind always assumes a Jonah/The Giver type scenario but if so many packs supposedly have emissaries, there must be many more.) There is no such thing as a "spark" in Teen Wolf. This was just Deaton offering a poetic explanation that only humans can handle mountain ash and generate its innate property of creating a barrier. The "spark" thing is just fanon.

All park "emissary" are druids. This tradition dates back to the original werwolves Lycaon and his sons. The relationship between Druids and Werewolves is symbiotic. The druids offer advice, healing, and other knowledge, the werewolves offer protection.

Again, it is fanon that Stiles is the emissary to Scott's Pack. While he fills the advice and knowledge role in some instances, He's actually just a human member of the pack and Scott's best friend.
