A trait, I am, but not one earned.

Intended, planned, for most concerned.

If you have me, I'm worthwhile.

Beware! When with me, don't beguile!

I've lived in Alpha, and Gamma too.

I've lurked in muntins, helping you.

I serve a purpose, don't you see?

Because of me, you, too, can see.

refraction. But I'm not sure how alpha and gamma would fit... I don't know if gamma waves and alpha particles can even be refracted. Unless there's a naming convention where alpha is the incident angle and gamma = alpha/n is the refracted angle?

On the right track, for sure. Close, very close, but no cigar . . .

luminescence. Although I don't remember ever seeing a glowing muntin, I can easily imagine that such a thing exists.

You are so very close.

And the mislead is my error.

That line should've read:

"I've lurked 'twixt muntins, helping you."

I'm still new at it, and usually post prematurely. I believe the rest is accurate.

Good going, but no merit badge!

Now I've got it

transparency!

Makes more sense with the "when you're with me don't beguile" line.

With my refraction answer, I was interpreting that line as a warning not to make a funhouse mirror

Man, I gotta proof these these things!

I thought, at first,
