I live in a flash yet can start a wide blaze, no mind or malice, purpose or ways. I shimmer, vanish, a wisp in the night, a fleeting whisper of energy, light. I dance on the anvil, flee from the steel; a tiny bright traveller, never brought to heel.

I have light, but I do not have flame. I am known for bioluminescence.

A force of nature; I only destroy. No fury, no mercy, no grief, no joy. My march is eternal - relentless, untamed. By time's gentle hand, my mark is proclaimed. I tear down mountains and cliffs on my own; I can also leave you a smooth polished stone.

I have a garden of arms, but plant no seeds. I possess a clever mind, but read no deeds. I dwell in watery realms, a master of disguise. What am I, known for eightfold ties?

Red or green I am For I shan't fall far from my birth point Causes great discoveries and horrible mistakes i do what am i?
