the sphere of Battle

Orb

Enhances the power of the wielder's Conjurations
Automatically creates a battlesphere when monsters are in sight; the battlesphere's power depends on your skill with Conjurations.

Desirability

Spellcasters can enjoy the boost to Conjurations. Loses the shield slot.

Characters that do not plan to use Conjurations have no use for the sphere of Battle. Djinn can make use of this orb's spell boost, but as they cannot train the Conjurations skill, the battlesphere's performance will be weaker.

History

• This item was introduced in 0.30, replacing the staff of Battle. Previously, you could hit enemies with the staff to generate the battlesphere.
