Really? I thought it'd be quite easy; although, maybe that's what every writer thinks after they've written a riddle!
First think of a creature named after a place
A novelised creature, with a peculiar face

worm

Next, turn your attention to a fire in a grate
Of the warmth and the comfort that this thing can create

heat

Let us not forget also, the land of the 'net
An icon that strives to cause grief and upset

troll

And finally, illumination, in the form of a thin shaft of light
Could be just one way of describing this action, so bright

laser

Now ponder these clues, and ponder them well
String them together, and what do they spell?

:h: solved it :yy:

Not even close, I'm afraid. I'm sure you can get it, though! You just have to think about each clue in a little more depth - don't take them at face value!

My first is in riddle but not in enigma
My second's in puzzle but never in poser,
My third is in secret but not in problem
My fourth is in mystery but not in conundrum,
My fifth is in teaser but not in obscurity
My sixth is in weird but never in quandary,
My seventh's in answer and also in question
My eighth's in mystique but not in expression

Who am I?
