Your posts are very confusing. I don't understand what you are doing here or why. It's like you started in the middle of a sentence. Why would you use this? There's no good explanation. Is this a setup for rendering in some rendering program?

I don't see a spear anywhere in your images.
What does the sphere have to do with these transparent boxes? Why do you have a cube painted with transparent material? If you want to create the appearance of light through the opening, wouldn't a single face work just as well?
Please clarify and make this a useful tutorial. If you do that, I'll move it to the tutorials section.

i think it's an attempt at making the spear look like it's glowing (the 2nd to last image posted prior to me posting.. the one with a sphere inside the building while looking through the window.. it looks as if this lightbulb/sphere is lit and glowing more-so than if you just put a sphere inside a building.

I've looked again and I still don't see a spear anywhere.

Perhaps 'spear' is a typo of 'sphere' ?
There is one of those
