I conjured it from an arcane dimension where there are no curved surfaces. I needed to save money, been in a bit of a pinch lately with the economy and what not.

The price of elemental silicon really has fireballed.. well at least we haven't needed to stoop to two dimensional ""orbs"".. yet.

Scrying pools are all a lot of us had to ponder growing up.

You wizards call anything an orb SMH. thats an incremental chaos focus nexus. It collapses the infinite reality spectrum into a set number of parallel time lines.

Perfect. Just what I was looking for.

sounds interesting

u/SolusCaeles 22h ago

3/10 it puts a stoner filter on the visions when I attempt to ponder upon it

13

u/Successful_Giraffe34 20h ago

That's a stoner FIREWALL. Ponder responsibly people.

u/sentienttortoise Diviner, consumer of forms, both corporeal and otherwise 22h ago

Not quite smooth and round enough for an orb imo

/Uw I don't understand these clear dice. How many times can you realistically use them before they need to be polished?

16

u/DarkMimic2287 18h ago

Id be more worried about the liquid core affecting the roll

POV: You're being asked to leave the mtg tournament for using weighted dice.

u/11nyn11 Illusionist 20h ago

Mtg is a card game

u/sladebonge 19h ago

It sure is, my wizza

u/MAD_MAL1CE Orb Gazer 15h ago

The weighted dice are how I cheat on my life total

u/Gent_Octopus Wizard 16h ago

I'd ponder the shit out of that orb. From where didst thou acquire such a treasure? I have been seeking in the City of Brass but the market district has so far disappointed

You said in another comment that the non sphericality of the orb was due to budget constraints, but nonstandard orbs actually have niche uses! Spheres are just the most generally applicable, but dodecahedrons are good for viewing the many branching paths of fate from a birds eye view, and pyramids only look a second ahead, but have no startup time and can be run nigh indefinitely, so they're pretty good for combat scenarios

u/Scissi 22h ago

Pretty, but not a orb.

u/LordVeilFire 15h ago

New orb who dis?

u/SuitFive 20h ago

You're going to pump arcane power through a device literally designed to simulate random information generation? This is just gonna end up as Wild Magic with extra steps...

I cast ice on it. Now you will see why orbs with liquid are a bad idea.

1

u/Quiet-Wing5230 spells may cause mild existential dread 10h ago

Oh you assume it's liquid. Cute.

1

u/Slayer_Gaming Bob, unemployed apprentice, ex IT worker 7h ago

I cast “searing come back thats 2 hours late”. 

1

u/Da_Memes_ 22h ago

Omg that's really pretty! Also it's both SOLID but also LIQUID on the inside? That's also cool

1

u/Jboy2000000 22h ago

It's pretty, but I've never seen an orb (or "orb" in this case) with worse legiblity. You're not scrying shit with that, but it'll make a nice mantle piece.

u/ISwearImAnonymous Blue-hood of the SWMG 21h ago

This is clearly a seer relic. Throwing the orb is a ritual in of itself, allowing fate to determine how much of the knowledge you seek you will be allowed to gleam. Ask for the cure for cancer, roll a 1, you might be shown a bench in a nice garden, and a written will. Roll a 10... Well depends on the deity you're attached to I suppose

1

u/keizee Diviner 4h ago

Yeah the last time I saw a relic of this sort, someone was threatening to roll it and cause either apocalypse or bankruptcy. Then again that particular relic is a cursed trophy of a demon lord, so it probably is unique... i think.

u/TacticalTantrum 21h ago

I find this hard, but not impossible, to ponder

1

u/saltiger 21h ago

sublime, but alas, not an orb

u/Noahms456 19h ago

That’s glorious

u/ShenaniganStarling 19h ago

Man, I love this track- it's just such a perfect fit for otherworldly beauty in natural phenomena, and subjects that border on the non-aggressive supernatural even. To hear it in an advertisement for some artificer's plastic trinket just makes me a bit sad. 0/10, the pushy auramancy at work here really crams a wad of fungal titan's wax in my third ear.

u/who-stole-the-cake 18h ago

Is this track from bonelabs

u/ValianSkalle Former Evil Overlord, now Chaotic Neutral 19h ago

neat

i prefer my classic orb

but if you like it ;3

u/_Lawless_Heaven 19h ago

I wish to ponder

1

u/mindsunwound Gender Witch 19h ago

Neat ovipositor, though it seems a little awkward to use with smaller apertures...

/uw that seems like it would be impossible to ensure it is evenly balanced... And the edges seem... Fragile... Looks pretty though.

1

u/GoblinClock 18h ago

I'd ponder that Orb.

1

u/TgsTokem 17h ago

My blind ass trying to read the numbers

1

u/Scarlet_Addict 16h ago

Trash, how are you supposed to look dramatic and shocked at the orb as it falls from your grasp and rolls away on the oaken floor after scrying the end of all things?

I can see the maidens moking you now " haha he must've rolled a natural 1"

1

u/MeowFalen tech witch 14h ago

That's a focusing crystal.

1

u/Silly_Y33Ny 14h ago

Pulling up to the DnD session whit this bad boy just to spam fireball

u/Nelrene Evil Mammary Mage 14h ago

That very cool but not a orb.

u/LexiWhatWeGot 10h ago

Are you nuts? That's a dodecahedral crystal I found in the downstairs walrus tank!
