Target should be getting these back in, check the Dollar section near the checkouts. Moved from old forums: dmscraft.freeforums.net/thread/303/quick-dancing-lights-markerI was inspired by Dungeons and Dragons Online in which they have a spell called Otto's Dancing Sphere that puts up a Disco ball shaped spell that flashes lights to crowd control the enemies. Felt it was a good way to convey dancing lights to my players in pen and paper. So I Picked up a tube of 16 mirror ball Christmas ornaments from the 1 dollar section at the local Target to make some "Dancing" Lights markers out of. The ornaments are plastic. The cap pulls right off, will probably reuse them as brasiers or trap parts. Cut off the part the cap attaches to and you have a nice Disco Ball shaped spell marker. Glue it to a clear straw or empty ball point pen tube then attach it to a stand and presto Dancing Light. Warning don't use hotglue on these. The heat of the hot glue warps and deforms the ornaments plastic. Elmer's or super glue works fine though.

It's been a while, but I think one effect of the spell, is to make it look like floating torches? If so, Scotty's Q-tip torches could be used to great effect, with your basing scheme. Scotty's transparency fire conflagration could be used to mimic the other version of this spell: a blob of fire, similar to a small Fire Elemental (shooting from memory here, I may be wrong, but I am thinking of the 1st Ed AD&D version of this spell -- don't think it has been used at all in my 2nd Ed. AD&D games...).
Regardless, your technique is very neat. Filed it away for future reference -- another Tool added to the Box. Cheers!

That settles it. Nobody can resist gettin' down, once the disco ball starts spinning.
