This crackling crystal contains the essence of an elemental plane. As an action, you can attach the shard to a Tiny object (such as a weapon or a piece of jewelry) or detach it. It falls off if your attunement to it ends. You can use the shard as a spellcasting focus while you hold or wear it. When you use a Metamagic option on a spell while you are holding or wearing the shard, you can use the following property: ## Property One target of the spell that you can see catches fire. The burning target takes `dice:2d10|noform|noparens|avg` (`2d10`) fire damage at the start of its next turn, and then the flames go out. *Source: Tasha's Cauldron of Everything p. 127*
