The Griffon's Saddlebag - Chromatic Obsidian Orb
infoAbout This Title
Wondrous item, rarity varies (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This dark, translucent orb has a twisting swirl of red, green, and blue inside. Cradling the orb is a twisted cage of obsidian. The orb is about six inches in diameter and can be used as a spellcasting focus. If you know the chromatic orb spell or have it prepared, this item also functions as the material component for that spell.
The orb has a number of charges based on its rarity, as shown in the table below. It regains all expended charges daily at dawn. You can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the chromatic orb spell from it, using your spell attack bonus. The level of the spell is equal to the number of charges you expend, and the maximum spell level depends on the orb's rarity.
Lastly, when you cast chromatic orb by expending charges and roll the same number on two or more of its damage dice, that creature suffers an additional effect associated with the damage type. If an effect requires a saving throw, it uses your spell save DC.
"What a marvel it is to wonder the nature of color, or to describe it. How can a color be hot, or cold? Why can a color make us feel one way, or another? Why is five yellow?""The answers are too vast, yet shallow. Allow me to sit, and ponder."
