Transparent stained glass

Somewhat related. Crystal Balls for props? I imagine it can be just a bitmap which always faces the player; but irl it refracts the images behind and it would also refocus nearby lights...which might make for a good puzzle using pagan/magic elemental symbology. Can the 'light' be manipulated in such a fashion?

There's a puzzle using light in "The Gatehouse", but it's with mirrors.

We don't have caustics, but you could fake the refraction fairly well using the heat haze shader and a custom distortion map.

The hanging light here is simply a spherical patch with a glass warp texture (plus particle effects, since it's a light). That should work as a basic crystal ball, especially if it had a custom cubemap; though it sounds as though you may want something fancier.

Not sure..but will settle for Gatehouse, as I haven't played that one yet.

A Noble Home...had Icecicles...not transparent, but they were there. Did not try to smash.
