Magic 8-ball

The magic 8-ball is a miscellaneous item .
==Background==
Sometimes, it is almost impossible to decide the correct course of action. With this potent prognosticator, decisions are easy. A truly lucky character may receive some special insight from the magic 8-ball.
==Uses==
Using the 8-ball displays vague (if promising) "fortunes," similar to those on real-world magic 8-balls popular in the 1970s. Rarely, the player character will instead receive a clue to various secrets in Fallout 2. In many cases, knowing the location of the secrets is not enough; until the player activates the clue from the 8-ball, the secrets don't actually exist. None of this type of secrets offer rewards that can't be missed, other than maybe the secret password to the computer.
==Location==
The magic 8-ball can be retrieved from the empty pool table on the second floor of the Bishops' Shark Club, just near the stairs to the 3rd floor.
