Put the orb in the middle of a cthulhu idol's chest!!!

Cool in theory, though my concern is overlap with existing niches like seeds. IMO void mages have enough and have no real place viewing prophecies without possessing a pre-existing feat/MA

I am convinced if you had it your way not a single voidal lore would ever pass again.

Ignoring the formatting, I think there is a hunger for more supplementary objects in mage roleplay that actually provide something other than aesthetic. The Orb, while traditionally found in a witch or mystic's repertoire, has been coopted more modernly by Wizards and ascended to a bread-and-butter type instrument.

 

In that breadth, I think they should have a more general 'primary' application that can seed easier into most player's wizard rp. Not everyone gets into the prophetic posts, and moreover they are somewhat sparse. You've included other applications here as almost an afterthought, but I think you'd find more success with this if you either brought those secondary abilities to the forefront or made the modus operandi for Orbs MORE tied to pondering / mental focus or acuity / inward seeking.

 

That said, I wouldn't immediately throw out prophetic access from the mix - but I do expect that it would have to be more gated than an open invention.

The creation requirements are a bit convoluted. Needing all three feat holders? Why?

the idea is to restrict it to larger mage groups that have access to all three things. Shouldnt be one sitting on every house's table - and i think that a good way of saying if someone is a big enough mage group is if they have reliable access to the three of these things.
