Our note
A macro view of a match head against a striker, slowed so far that single sparks hang in the air. The sparks become a fireball and a tall flame, glowing cracks open across the charred head, the burn walks up the stick, and the head curls and drops, leaving a thin blue thread of smoke. The author says Fable 5.5 wrote its own GPU combustion simulation for this, in 116 minutes and $13.02 of API costs.
