An orb of tempests is a scrying device made from a crystal sphere about 6 inches in diameter. It functions like a crystal ball, allowing the use of the spell scrying (Will DC 16 negates). In addition, the viewer can produce a control weather effect once per day. This effect is centered on the person or locale the viewer can see in the crystal ball at the time this ability is invoked.
The art of making an orb of tempests was a closely held secret of the Illuskan wizards, so only a handful of the devices exist today. An orb of tempests is an especially potent defensive tool for the defenders of a port city, since the owner can detect hostile fleets long before they approach and sink them in a fierce gale that seems to spring from nowhere.
