Q: The colored marbles that you place in the right places to power up the linking books in the domes, are fire marbles, right?

A: I understand the confusion. Generally, the fire-marbles were used for light. The marbles you are referring to are a variation of the basic fire-marbles which release all of their energy very quickly (read: they explode... so don't drop them too hard!) I call these more volatile fire-marbles "power-marbles" to denote the distinction between these types of marbles.


Q: If those little glowing spherical stones are Fire-Marbles... and they glow...

Why are the big rotating ones called Fire-Marble Domes? They don't seem to have any capability of glowing... they don't even seem to be made of the same material...

A: They are shaped like giant sunken fire-marbles, exactly in the places where you need to put the real fire-marbles on the map...

They aren't actually fire-marbles, but they _represent_ fire-marbles...
