Orb of Power

This spell allows the caster to endow obsidian orbs with the potential to store energy. Up to six orbs may be so endowed at a time. The spell doesn't imbue the orbs with energy or power, it simply makes them capable of storing such energy. The orbs endowed by this spell are usually not large enough to be used by dragons in their spellcasting. Once power has been placed in the orb and used, the orb must be made receptive again through use of this spell. It is the prerequisite to using obsidian in any other spells.

Obsidian orbs shaped by those with lens-crafting skill are the most desirable for use in spellcasting. Those of lesser quality must make a saving throw as glass vs. crushing blow or be destroyed by the spell. Ceruleans' blue lenses are also endowed through use of this spell; only two blue lenses may be made at any one time.

The material components of the spell are the orb or lens to be imbued with potential and a pinch of fine powder.
