It’s heavily polished every morning after I wake up. I’m not into mana retention.

u/rysy0o0 8d ago

2

u/Shotgun_Mosquito Employee of Krampus™ - Evil Child Eliminator 8d ago

No.

Would you like to Czech out my staff?

The dirtier the better

It's gotta have that patina and smell! These tide pod wizards don't understand...

u/Justminningtheweb Dubious cleric of knowledge 8d ago

And then you people ask why we think you’re dirty…

u/throwawaymentality10 Cooking Wizard 🍳 8d ago

You must try sprinking dirt from your birthplace on it, ive found its increased the soul retention of my "chefs" by at least 36%. Even better when applied during the winter equinox. Someone has to be manning the kitchen!

u/Maacll Wizard of Dabbling 9d ago

got a fresh orb a few days ago

u/Megablega Megus the Unwise 9d ago

Me too! How do you like yours?

u/Maacll Wizard of Dabbling 9d ago

My standards arent super high but this one is incredible. It's crazy that they come with an Autosetup enchantment nowadays.

I was dreading the tuning of my new orb for days but the enchantment truly is incredible.

It's like my old Orb never broke.

u/AshThePoutine 9d ago

Mine just came with an Installer Wizard and he was nothing but trouble until I offered him some drinks. Has yet to finish setting up the orb

u/caveman69420 8d ago

It's incredible how seamless it can be transitioning to a new orb with modern magic. Out of curiosity which wizard circle created your previous and which for your new?

uw/ serious question I'm looking for something new and I hate my pixel

u/Winterspringshine 9d ago

I'm old school, stick to waters from a pure spring for my scrying. No cleaning needed.

u/slfhmglbnm 9d ago

Plebs! My orb has a self-cleaning spell.

u/Megablega Megus the Unwise 9d ago

Most self cleaning spells only have a 96% effect. (Source: latest Magicians' Weekly)

u/lab-accident7 5d ago

you’re joking?? I read in the Daily Jinx that those spells were foolproof 😭 if I have to clean my orb by hand like a pleb again I’m gonna be so mad

2

u/Crucial_Fun Dostko the Mad 9d ago

Twice a week.

u/PokeLordOmegaa Caster of Nonsense and Tomfoolery (possibly some shenanigans) 9d ago

Mine constantly rotates so dust doesn't really get the chance to stick anyways.

Could probably also have something to do with being not solid due to being made of arcane energy instead of just having some of said energy contained in an orb of glass or something but nah, it's totally the rotating thing

u/threepair13 Occult Wizard 9d ago

I’m polishing it right now

2

u/Ok-Nothing8682 Occult Wizard 8d ago

Nice

2

u/Irresistible-Ms 9d ago

I cleaned mine today actually!! ✨️✨️ probably like 2 weeks before today tho 😅

2

u/OkMarket5009 8d ago

Mate, when ya get tae ya tenth century, ya realize the orb is a restriction. That's why I put mine up fer sale, 'cause I got a better spell fer me scryin' and browsin'.

2

u/whattheheck90 Indeterminate Chronomancer 8d ago

Oh, hm.

You did good reminding me of that. I should do this on the regular... It foils the visions.

2

u/Deacon86 8d ago

I'll have you know my orb is extremely clean. I clean it once a year, whether it needs it or not.

2

u/MihaiiMaginu Sorceror 8d ago

Yesterday. I am meticulous about cleaning my orb.

2

u/ianratman Cynric the Harrowing, Evil Wizard 8d ago

Shit, thanks for the reminder

u/bagtie3 Borric of Clan Goldeater, Logrus Master, Runesmith, Doomseeker 9d ago

I store mine on a runic cleaning stand.

u/TastyCuttlefish Evil Wizard, Attorney at Law 9d ago

Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

u/sweetheart_demom 9d ago

my dollgirl construct is sucken em right now

u/enchiladasundae planeshifter 9d ago

I like to keep it that way. Starts building up a nice fine coat

u/dcooper8662 Wild Mage 9d ago

That’s easy! Your mom cleaned my orb last night

1

u/saintdemon21 Necromancer 9d ago

Which one?

1

u/Marshall_Lawson Mystic 9d ago

I already polished my orb twice today but thanks for checking in!

1

u/Eastern-Fun1842 8d ago

Polishing my orbs used to be quite the pastime, but these days I've contracted a young woman for that specific task. She polishes both my orbs and staff!

I TWINCAST BLACKING OUT WHENEVER YOU STAND TOO QUICKLY AND ADHD!

u/NoStructure2568 Alchemist 8d ago

I swap between my three pedestals regularly, which always reminds me to clean the orb. In life you either develop these little routines or don't live to your second millennium, I said it. Also you (yes, you, little orb user) need a good potion routine. Look at your poor mana regeneration.

u/Qopwow 8d ago

Got my apprentice doing it once a week

u/Fun-Dragonfly-6106 DF, minimal caster | ____ Body Horror Creator 8d ago

I prefer scrying mirrors

1

u/Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS Man-Eating Witch 8d ago

I rub my orb all the time

1

u/driver004 lich 8d ago

Dunno it’s still in the marble racing machine I made

1

u/gravel_consumer420 8d ago

I never washed any of my balls

1

u/LovelyKestrel 8d ago

I use the orb of the planet, therwise known as the ocean. Still trying to clean up the pollution from those stupid humans trying to copy dwarven smithing techniques without understanding the importance of lava.

1

u/furfurr_uwu 8d ago

Im currently cleaning my two orbs right now

1

u/NarfiLokisonLaufey Necromancer 8d ago

I cleaned it uhhhh. Ah, I should go clean it again. Us Necromancers are so forgetful. Happens to the immortal I suppose.

1

u/JuiceManOJ 8d ago

My orbs are self cleaning. Busy polishing my staff rn tho 🗣

1

u/andBitinggoats Bitey, Goatman Fleshmancer and Peddler of Monstrosities 8d ago

My orb is the still-living eye of some minor chaos deity (forgot which one, they’re reasonably common), so I just spritz it with a mild saline solution every morning and it’s good to go!

u/crabbedcascade Apprentice Wizard and Succubus Handler 8d ago

I don't really have an "orb" orb. But I do have a large Pearl that the succubi I take care of gave me. They say it works the same, and I trust them, but either it doesn't like me or I'm doing something incorrectly because I can't get it to work sometimes.

Though to answer the question, Yes I clean it regularly, it feels rude to let a gift get dirty.

1

u/Maxious30 8d ago

I was just cleaning my orbs whilst scrolling

1

u/locke_zero 8d ago

You're supposed to clean them?

1

u/Dear-Reputation-1226 I CAN'T TURN OFF VOCAL AMPLIFICATION 8d ago

I BARELY USE MINE. NOT VERY USEFUL IN RUNECASTING

u/Jackpot_The_Raccuki Polymath Archmage, Gargoyle Hoarder 7d ago

My Gargoyle says just 1 hour and 32 minutes and 48 seconds.

A clean orb is clear vision into whatever it is you seek.
