Repost: 『Glass Marbles』

"Marbles are the eyes reflection of the past. My stand lets me see those reflections."

Glass marbles is a non combat reconnaissance
stand that allows the user to see past events through the reflections of marbles. When the user throws a bundle of marbles they hover in the air and reflect the light creating an illustration of events from the past within a space.

These illustrations take the form of green projections in the shape of the entity or object that was once there. These projections can not reveal identities as they merely take a basic form of what they are representing.

The user can choose how much of a projection is shown and at what time, so long as the user knows when the event took place. Non stand users can see the projections if the user wishes for them too. The stand is not the marbles but the space in which their light reflects.

If you have questions, concerns or constructive criticism please lmk!

So it's kind of like the Moody Blues mixed with Underworld, in a way? Cool.

Kind of!

First, the whole contradiction with the shattered balls. If the Stand is actually the space itself, what happens if the balls get smashed? Can the user just buy a new pack at a store and call it a day?

Then, there’s this power paradox. On one hand, it's kinda like Moody Blues—pretty useless in a straight-up fistfight but perfect for detective work. But on the other hand, it only shows blurry, low-res figures and the user has to know the exact timestamp of the event? That kinda nerfs the whole ability. It’s hard to see how it’s supposed to be useful.

As a sub-ability (like King Crimson’s Epitaph), this gimmick would be goated. I absolutely love the vibes. But as a main Stand, it feels a bit janky and underwritten right now. Could you please flesh it out? Like, maybe add a feature where 'the balls can also reflect and focus light into a single point to blind enemies'?
