Orb of Obfuscation (inferior)
Disguise tool +1
Allows user to alter his/her physical appearance at will for ten hours per day.
Orb of Obfuscation cannot be upgraded through any method.
âItâs an enchanted item,â he said. âAre you trying to tell us that you used this to stay on Earth for a hundred years? But how? The Crucible hadnât come yet, and you werenât a Challenger at that time. How did you get an enchanted item, much less be able to use it if you didnât have any cosmic energy?â
âThatâs a long storyâ¦â Srralnthirazz laughed nervously. âAre you sure you want me to tell it right now? Here? In the middle of this godforsaken place?â
âSome enchanted items make their way beyond the worlds taken by the Crucible and out into the cosmos, lad,â Torgar said, hitching his hammer back to his belt and running a gauntleted hand through his beard. âAnd not all enchanted items need their user to be a Challenger. This orb has a small switch on the top. See that? I bet itâs a cycler of some sort that conserves and reuses the cosmic energy the orb contains. My mentor had a tool like that too, back in the day. He used it to make the finest guns youâll ever see.â
Bain took a closer look at the rubber ball Srralnthirazz was holding up, and he saw that it did have a small knob on its surface. A quick scan with Flowsight told him that pressing the switch would almost certainly cause the cosmic energy within the Orb of Obfuscation to flow out and engulf whoever was holding it. An intricate pattern within its depths was likely responsible for pulling back the cosmic energy and re-priming it for subsequent use.
âUse it, and put on a disguise youâd wear on Earth, back in the day,â Bain told Srralnthirazz as he pointed to the rubber ball. âI can see cosmic energy, so Iâll be able to figure out how that thing works.â
âSure thing.â The Weaver depressed the knob. Sure enough, cosmic energy emerged in a rose-colored cloud that fell over his body. When the cloud dispersed, a tall, blonde, and unrealistically proportioned woman was standing where Srralnthirazz had been. When she spoke, the spiderâs voice emerged from between her lips. âThere. Happy?â
âNot very,â Bain said, stifling a sigh and averting his gaze. âBut I think thatâs enough to give you plausible deniability. I can still tell itâs you by the flow of cosmic energy in your body, so if you do start wearing someoneâs skin at the Fortieth Bastionâ¦â
âIâll tear off your legs one by one and strangle you with your innards,â Ikaru promised. âAnd after that, Iâll let my sister have her turn. â
âLook, man.â Srralnthirazz pressed the knob on the Orb of Obfuscation again and went back to his arachnid appearance. âI lived on Earth for a hundred years, and I never killed a single human. Never. My choice of food? Fried chicken. Burgers. Pizza. Beer.
I guess that all did exist a hundred years ago.
