From what it sounds like the meaning seems derived from the word spore so maybe if it is a real word it means "spore-like". I'm no expert but if I had to guess that would be mine.

The only thing i could find was that sporific is some kind of game, but the closest word in the dictionary is saporific...

adjective
producing or imparting flavor or taste.
[Origin: 1695–1705; < NL sapÅrificus, equiv. to L sapÅr-, s. of sapor savor + -i- -i- + -ficus -fic]
