The Dawn Sphere was created and used by The Dawn Maiden to begin and complete The Ascension. It was created by crystallizing the souls of each Celestial that fell during the Ten-Thousand Year War and magically binding them into a large sphere. No one knows where the Dawn Sphere is today, but many myths and legends exist about its whereabouts or disappearance.
The Dawn Sphere is a large crystal-like ball that has an azure blue hue to it but is completely translucent. Due to its size and weight, it requires two hands to wield.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The Dawn Sphere harnesses the celestial power from the crystallized souls used in its creation to both enhance the abilities of the user and grant certain spells to the user.
