Observer
Name Crystal T
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I have seen fireballs before, but never seen one this amazing. Usually, the fireball is of different colors (blue, green, etc.) this one actually looked like a ball on fire. It was the biggest one I have ever seen before. You could see smoke and fragments coming off the fireballball, also it lasted longer than i have ever witnessed. It was truly amazing!
