An inductor would retard the rate of rise of current in a circuit. It would store energy in the form of a magnetic field which would give you a large kick back when the circuit is broken. AKA the effect that makes the high voltage of the ignition coil. A capacitor would bridge the contacts and reduce the OPENING arc but would discharge when the contacts close INCREASING the current INRUSH when closing. Physics.

A resistor would reduce the power to the motor and slow or stall it.

There is no free lunch. If you used a big enough transistor you could avoid the arcing if you had enough of a heat sink. No free lunch. One of my patents was to prevent arcing in high current relay contacts, but that is going to cost more money,,,,lunch.
