'''Firemarbles''' were the primary source of light for [[D'ni (race)|D'ni]] lamps. They are a special form of stone which glows when scratched or struck.  The appear to contain a significant amount of energy which is slowly released over time in the form of a soft light. Firemarbles vary in size from typical marble-sized spheres to massive globes several feet in diameter. They are extinguished when doused with water. Firemarbles can be found throughout [[D'ni]] and its [[Age]]s. They come in many different colors and degrees of brightness.

To celebrate the anniversary of the finding of the [[Lost Books of Birenni]], the D'ni would hide firemarbles in their homes and neighborhoods for children to find.

It appears that firemarbles can pose a fire hazard if they strike an object with enough force to shatter. This is evidenced by the fire in [[Tomahna]] which was started when [[Saavedro]] threw a firemarble at a nearby curtain.  The firemarble shattered and the curtain caught fire, rapidly spreading to the rest of [[Atrus]]'s study.

== Powermarbles ==

While trapped on [[Riven]], [[Gehn]] used modified firemarbles as a power source.  Dubbed '''powermarbles''', they would release all their energy at once in the form of a massive explosion, which Gehn used to power the faulty [[book|linking books]] in his [[firemarble dome]]s.
