Big Eldritch ball in the sky that gives people cancer if it shines light on them for too long. You can use a shaped lens to summon its dire energies on hapless targets to ignite them. Some clowns a while back figured out how to channel those same forces to power unliving machines which nominally do our bidding but sometimes violently expel their energies in a burst of toxic smoke and flame.
