What happens here

After the spackle has dried completely and has been smoothed (if additional sanding was required), the area is ready for final finishing. If your ceiling has a textured finish, you'll want to apply spray texture to the repaired area to match the surrounding surface. Once the spray texture is dry, the entire ceiling area should be primed and then painted to ensure a uniform and flawless appearance.

Goal: Blend the repaired area with the surrounding ceiling

Just like that. I'm going let that spackle dry. If the hole is big enough and you got a big enough splat spot, you want to take and spray it with some spray texture prior to painting it.
