Mystery users prize orbs of shadow as wizards do pearls of power. An orb of shadow appears to be a black pearl of average size and unusual luster. Once per day, you can speak a command word as a standard action to activate an orb. You must have the orb in your hand; drawing it out is a move action.
Like a pearl of power, this item allows a single extra use of a mystery, regardless of whether that mystery functions as a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability. The mystery must be of a particular level, depending on the orb. Different orbs exist for recalling one mystery per day of each level from 1st through 9th and for the recall of two mysteries per day (each of a different level, 6th or lower).
