Orb of Death

Orb of Death is a magical item that greatly enhances its wielder's abilities over undead beings.

Description
Originating from the New World, this item allows the user to summon and supplement the undead. One of the most unique traits of this item is that it is fully sentient with desires and thinking of its own. It is only able to communicate with its user via telepathy through physical contact.

Appearance
Despite its sinister name, its appearance isn't really noteworthy. It mostly resembles a black lump or a plain black pearl, but since its shape is rough it appears closer to the former.

Although it's shape resembles a pearl at first glance, it lacks the shine and looks more like a gravel that one could find off the riverbanks that Ainz himself thought so. However, when used, it pulses with an errie purple-reddish light.

Personality
Given its power and name, the Orb is no doubt an evil creation.

In the Light Novel, it is a sentient item and has an obsession over death that borders on worship. Ever since its creation, its only wish was to spread death across the world. However, despite its power over the undead, it does respect those that are superior to it. For example, upon sensing Ainz Ooal Gown's supreme power that surpasses its own by bound and leaps, whom it declares as the Great King of Death, it then swears fealty to him and requests to join the ranks of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Its willingness to serve Ainz is akin to the loyalty the NPCs of Nazarick have for him. The Orb is constantly arguing with it's new holder, Hamsuke, to return it to Ainz.

Abilities
The Orb of Death can allow a magic caster to cast multiple necromantic magics in a day. Thus, it is considered a valuable tool to necromancers. However, it also seems to be able to subtly use mind control and manipulate the user through fear, though it can't affect those who possess mind control resistance or are unafraid of it to begin with. It enables it wielder to:
 * Create Undead: Allows the wielder to create undead minions from a dead body.
 * Negative Energy: Allows the collected negative energy within the orb to be used by the wielder.

Trivia

 * In the Light Novel, it is discovered that the orb was sentient when it was presented to Ainz for inspection by Narberal Gamma after she finished collecting the equipment in their surroundings.


 * In the Light Novel, Hamsuke now keeps this item safe in her cheeks.
 * Khajiit intended to use the orb to turn himself into an undead lich.

Quotes

 * (To Hamsuke about Pinison): "Those who possess intellect undergo change every day."
