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:
- Attunement - Doubles the enhancer effects of magical staves, and gives magical staff melee a chance to recover MP.
- Energy - Refunds MP on successful casts (depending on Evocation)s, and 100% of miscasts, but increases miscast rate.
- Glass - Has a chance to inflict Vitrify on enemies when damage is dealt.
- Guile - Reduces willpower of both the wielder and their targets, scaling with Evocations.
- Mesmerism - Inflicts dazed when hurt in melee.
- Pyromania - Boosts Fire Magic and may cause an explosion when an enemy is killed with a non-weapon non-melee attack.
- Stardust - When consuming MP, attacks enemies with shooting stars. Can only recover after some time with full MP and no monsters in sight.
Orbs will always spawn with one of the egos listed above. Randart orbs will always spawn with one of these egos.
