the arc is searching for the easiest path to battery neg, and if that is through the case of the coil rather than to the ground through the electrode of the spark plug, the electrical charge can damage whatever path it takes. It's the same reason that if you have a spark plug that is miss firing you must also change the spark plug wireset and rotor cap.
