Prompt 12 - Glimmer

All of my studies throughout my life had led me to this moment. The many years of reading the open books circling my chambers, pouring over the scrolls that stretched across the floor. It all brought me to the creation of my wonderful glimmer, here, now, as I had pictured it would be. Precisely so – it was my mental faculties grown to immense prowess. I could merely imagine something and it would become material as I wished.
            So had I imagined my glimmer, my bright light from within, and so did it become real before my eyes… far more real now than I wish it had been, for indeed it blinded my eyes upon first laying my sight upon it. It did not end there.
            I felt the heat bear down on me and nearly crush me with its presence, before actually doing so. It grew to painful proportions before rising to an unbearable degree. I felt the pressure around my body as if to press me into myself, and then my skin gave way, tearing as if rent apart by the tiniest blades all over.
            The heat came upon me slowly, ever growing, one large pound against me until my flesh was rent from the bone, and the bone itself turned to ash and I was suddenly left with all that I truly was before, a mind, a soul, a spirit.
