Name | Ri W |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | In images I saw after trying to figure out what the fireball was, I noticed the trails were frequently thin streaks of light following the orb. This was not the case with what I witnessed, as the trail on the fireball I saw looked like actual fire. The orb was also bright, and had a bluish hue instead of just light green. |

Remarks | It resembled actual fire, like you'd see in a hearth. It looked like orange flames. It trailed the ball of light and wasn't thin. It didn't look like light itself as the greenish orb did. |
