Orb of Silence

Created by JackCarrot

The Orb of Silence is a mystical object imbued with the power to muffle sound and create an aura of tranquility. Crafted from polished obsidian, the orb's surface is etched with intricate runes that seem to absorb and dampen any nearby noise. When held, the Orb of Silence exudes a subtle vibration, pulsing in sync with the wielder's heartbeat, as if the object is alive and attuned to the user's very essence. Activating the Orb's power is a simple matter of uttering a command word, which causes the runes to glow with a soft, ebony light. In an instant, a sphere of silence expands outward, enveloping the user and any nearby allies in a soundproof barrier. Within this zone, even the loudest of noises are muted, making it the perfect tool for stealthy infiltrations or delicate negotiations. The Orb's influence extends beyond just muffling sound, as it also seems to have a calming effect on the mind. Those who wield the Orb find their thoughts becoming clearer, their senses sharper, and their nerves steadier, allowing them to navigate challenging situations with a newfound clarity and composure. Yet, the Orb of Silence is not without its limitations. The sphere of silence can only be maintained for a limited duration, and the user must take care not to overexert the Orb's power, lest it become temporarily depleted.

Effects

Recharge

The Orb can be used once per long rest. If the user attempts to activate it again before completing a long rest, they must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or the Orb becomes inert for 1 hour.

Silence Sphere

As an action, the user can activate the Orb to create a 20-foot radius sphere of silence centered on themselves. This effect lasts for 10 minutes or until the user dismisses it as a bonus action. Creatures within the sphere cannot hear anything outside of it, and any sound made within the sphere is muted.

Calming Aura

While holding the Orb, the user gains advantage on Wisdom saving throws and ability checks to maintain concentration on spells or effects for the duration of the silence sphere. This effect lasts as long as the sphere is active.
