Orb of Enemy Skill

Aura moderate conjuration and evocation; CL 17th
Slot slotless; Price 81,000 gp; Weight 6 lbs.
== Description ==
This yellow glass sphere is 8 inches in diameter. The possessor can call upon the powers of defeated enemies to aid him. Once per day the possessor can use any special ability the orb possesses. If the ability does not have a duration or has an limitless duration it is given the duration of one minute (10 rounds). Using the orb is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity regardless if the special ability the orb is using would provoke normally.
=== Learning a Special Ability ===
Whenever the possessor of the orb kills a foe the orb 'learns' how to use any of the natural extraordinary or supernatural abilities that the defeated foe had used on him and adds that special ability to the list of special abilities it knows. He need not have delivered the killing blow to be considered to have killed an enemy (that is left up to GM discretion).
The special ability can only be 'learned' if it was used by a creature considered an enemy. The possessor must have been effected by the special ability which includes failing the save against it if there was one, or having his spell resistance overcome he has spell resistance. This is not limited to negative effects, if the enemy used a special ability that benefited the possessor (through some form of compulsion for example) the orb can learn it.
Orbs cannot learn special abilities from any magic items including other Orbs of Enemy Skill, only from the natural special abilities of creatures.
The orb retains the spell like abilities it has 'learned' regardless of who is wielding it.
