Orb of Climate
As the beads of sweat cascaded down Aven'Ess' forehead, her hands felt as though they were being simultaneously frozen and burnt by the True Ice she was attempting to infuse with the glass orb. She was now entering her eighth hour and knew she had to withstand the pain and maintain the incantation in order for the material to take.

Mechanics & Inner Workings
The Orb of Climate is a clear sphere that fits into the palm with a large diamond cut into a hectogon and magically suspended in the center of the sphere. If an elemental spell is cast into the sphere, the many faces of the diamond will absorb, multiply and continuously expel the same spell upon the verbalization of a command word. If the command word is spoken again, the orb will release the spell and return to its natural, dormant state.
Manufacturing process
The process of creating an Orb of Climate is known by few but consists of magically injecting the material components for the item into the glass ball while simultaneously suspending the diamond in the center of the sphere without allowing it to touch the edges. Each component must be infused one at a time and the process of which takes 10 hours per element.
Significance
Most commonly used by powerful wizards and mages to conceal and protect their dwellings from intruders.
