* The Time Stone: The Time Stone is a mysterious and elusive orb that embodies the essence of time itself. It is said to grant its wielder control over temporal magic, allowing them to manipulate the flow of time, hasten their actions, slow down foes, and even bring moments to a standstill. The Time Stone holds the power of foresight and hindsight, offering glimpses into the past and future. However, with such mastery over time comes the burden of understanding the delicate balance and consequences of altering the timeline.
* The Dimension Sphere: The Dimension Sphere is a fabled orb that contains within it the boundless dimensions of reality. This artifact enables the wielder to traverse between planes of existence, teleport instantaneously, and explore different realms and dimensions. With the Dimension Sphere, one can bridge the gaps between worlds, venture into the Outer Planes, and even access places that exist beyond mortal comprehension. However, the vastness and complexity of the multiverse come with their own challenges, including encounters with extraplanar beings, navigating the intricacies of alternate dimensions, and maintaining one's sanity when faced with the unknowable.
== Lesser Orbs: ==
* The Orb of Storms: The Orb of Storms is a lesser magical orb that holds dominion over the elemental forces of air and lightning. When wielded, it grants the ability to summon and control powerful winds, generate lightning bolts, and manipulate weather patterns. The bearer gains the power to create gusts of wind to move swiftly or to manipulate projectiles, call down lightning strikes upon their foes, and even create localized storms to obscure their movements. However, with control over the tempestuous forces of nature comes the risk of losing control and unintentionally causing widespread destruction.
* The Orbs of Dragonkind (Major Artifact): The Orbs of Dragonkind are a set of legendary orbs, each attuned to a specific type of dragon. These orbs grant the bearer the ability to communicate with and exert influence over dragons of the corresponding type. When in possession of an orb, the bearer gains the ability to understand and speak the ancient language of dragons, as well as access to a variety of dragon-related powers. These powers may include commanding dragons to perform tasks, calling upon a dragon's breath weapon, and even temporarily assuming draconic traits. However, using the power of the Orbs of Dragonkind may draw the attention of powerful dragons, who may see the bearer as a rival or a potential ally. The inclusion of these lesser orbs, such as the Orb of Storms and the potent Major Artifact of the Orbs of Dragonkind, adds more diversity and complexity to your world's magical items. These orbs can be sought after by adventurers and wielders who seek to harness the unique powers they offer. The presence of these orbs in your world could also lead to new quests, conflicts, and alliances, as various factions and individuals vie for control over their magic.

Each Rukhian Crystal is a testament to the delicate balance between the natural world and the arcane forces that permeate it. Their crystalline structure, formed over eons or painstakingly shaped by skilled hands, captures and amplifies the raw power of Essence, allowing those who wield them to tap into the boundless potential of Other World's magic. These orbs vary in size, from small handheld spheres to larger, more ornate crystals that adorn ceremonial spaces or serve as focal points for magical rituals.
