Brad,
Isn't it also appropriate to use this word in something like, "Your new
story is very Scintillating. It's somehow not surprising to me that you
chose this word so soon after posting your story."
Or, do I have this confused with something else?

The wind and light rain thwarted his efforts to
build a fire as he raked the butt-end of his buck
knife along the magnesium bar. His intense
scraping began to scintillate towards the kindle
lying protected beneath the heavier fire stock.
