Other than the flavour, there's no mechanical difference between an orb, a scroll, or a runic tablet, for example. (At least, this is how I understand it). I have the text somewhere if you want it

(Jon, let me know if you'd rather this not be posted and I'll remove it ) Craft Arcane Orb (Item Creation Feat) You can create arcane orbs, which carry spells within them. Prerequisites: 4 ranks knowledge (arcana), spellcaster level 5, defiler. Benefit: You can create potion-globes, which work like potions, or spell-globes, which work like scrolls. You can create arcane orbs, obsidian spheres that contain spells. Arcane spheres include potion-globes, which follow the limits and rules of potions, and spell-globes, which follow the limits and rules of scrolls. While potion-orbs are smooth as a marble, spell-orbs are distinguished with a peculiar rune. Using the Read Magic spell, you can determine which spell is contained within a given spell orb – the defiler that created the spell orb recognises this immediately.

Arcane spheres include potion-globes, which follow the limits and rules of potions Such as drinking the whole orb? How exactly does a non-magic user activate a ''potion-globe''? And how do you ''read'' a spell-globe? Arcane orbs were meant as power conduits / containers. I'd make them something which works kind of like Power Stones for psionics, except that they would contain spell slots, in essence.

Heh, well there you go. Thanks, Flip - well wide of the mark on that one
