Otiluke's Orb of Containment (Wizard Spell)

This spell is used to create a useful container for dangerous substances. When the caster has an object or substance to be contained, the spell can be cast to create a crystal sphere 6 inches in diameter, up to 30 yards away from the caster. The crystal orb surrounds the object (or part of a semi-liquid substance) and holds it securely; it will not form around an object that it cannot wholly contain. The interior surface of the orb is as hard as adamantite, so that even the most volatile or corrosive substance can be safely held. Time within the orb is frozen, so the sub­stance held will not age.
The orb cannot be shattered by physical force or most magical attacks, although a dispel magic or disintegrate spell can destroy the orb and free its contents.
The orb of containment exists for one day. After this, it fades out, freeing the contents. If the spell is cast again before the orb fades, the spell is renewed and continues for another day without disturbing the contents.
The material components are a diamond worth 1,000 gp encased in glass, both of which shatter when the spell is cast. Only a shard of glass is required to renew the spell.
Notes: Uncommon or rare spell (WoG).
