1:15 p.m. — A vehicle on fire was reported on Proctor Street. Police said a man said "he was eating lunch when he noticed his car was fire." Police said the man was able to put out the fire before the fire department arrived. The fire department "believes a crystal ball may have caused the fire."

I suppose the sunlight focused through the prism and set something on fire. I wonder if there's a rule for that in D20?
Respectfully,

Hmm... Mythbusters did light a fire with a carved sphere of ice... Glass would do the job just as well, if not better.
And your hands would not get wet.

That's really something special, I can just imagine the scene. Some guy sitting in his car, eating his sandwich, staring absentmindedly out the window, then he looks around and realizes the entire car has suddenly caught on fire. He then pours out his water bottle very nonchalantly and goes back to staring, possibly at his crystal ball.
If you're ever in a situation where you can't survive, go for the broke and fill all of creation with chickens. Just imagine the reaction of people halfway around the world when every square inch of space in their world is suddenly and completely full of chickens.
