 '''Orbs''' are a piece of equipment you can carry in your off-hand. Unlike [[shields]], they provide no defensive value, but come with one of several unique egos:

+*[[Stardust]] - Upon spending MP for the first time in a battle, conjures several [[shooting star]]s around the player, which behave like [[foxfire]]s but knock enemies back upon contact and can be shot through.
