-A '''crystal ball of energy''' is an evocable item which, when used successfully, restores a large amount of your [[MP]] (5 + 1d[[Evocations]]). It has no cost to use, but does have a high failure rate and may cause [[Divinations]] [[miscast effect#Divinations|miscast effect]]s when used incorrectly.

 The odds of success increase with both your Evocations skill and the percentage of your max MP you still have. Regardless of your Evocations, trying to use this item when nearly out of MP is almost guaranteed to fail, and attempting it while confused will always fail. However, the higher your Evocations, the greater the amount of MP you can spend before using this item becomes unlikely to pay off. See the table below for details:
