Description

A round crystal ball the size of your hand, with a treacherous red glow dancing amidst dark vapors inside. It bears an aura of Libila. It emits a sense of power.

Notes

• The glass orb itself is 99QL and is worth a lords ransom : 2.5 Gold.
• Activation (use) starts a 20 second countdown, at the end of which a 50 damage infected wound is dealt to all enemies within a radius of 5 (?) tiles.
• There's a 10% chance it backfires immediately and kills everyone including the user and allies nearby.
• Has a 1 hour cooldown between uses.

Examples of use

The Orb of Doom was used twice in early April 2012 during a battle on the Elevation Server of the Epic cluster in which The Mongol Empire killed (approximately) 44 players from all other kingdoms. At this point it had a cooldown of only 10 minutes.
