Presumably it is the divine significance that causes it to give off a gentle eerie glow ....

Treeseed, I think sionnach was hinting to check your spelling.

treeseed commented on the word phosphoron
Well, I made a corrected entry...but this word has a nice ring to it. What is it called when Treeseed not only can't spell but can't see the light of day? A Phosmoron.
Thanks, Mollusque.

Turns out that phosphoron is also a word, apparently a phosphorous group that transfers energy in biological reactions, from what I can gather in the limited online view of "Mechanism of Energy Transduction in Biological Systems" by David E. Green (Bioenergetics, 1974).
