Pencil that leaves a glowing trail behind it as it moves. Width, lifetime and HSV colour are all patchable.
Grab and press the trigger to emit a trail. The trail fades after the configured lifetime. Unlike the regular Pencil, every parameter (width, lifetime, hue, saturation, brightness) is exposed as a Jolt Input with Dial, so the trail can be animated from other blocks.
