Orb of Vulnerability
Class: Relic
Slot: Misc
Cost: 25000
Event
You meet an old Wizard friend of yours traveling in the opposite direction. He presents you with a gift: An orb that allows nearby magic resistant creatures to be harmed by magic.
Effect
While not mentioned in the description, the orb also negates the Resistance secondary skill and any resistance granted by the Garniture of Interference and/or its components. It does not negate Golem's spell damage resistance.
How it works
The Orb of Vulnerability does not work the same way for the owner and the opponent; the owner can cast spells that could not be cast previously on both their own and their opponent's troops; the opponent can cast spells that could not be cast previously, but only on the troops of the owner of the Orb. Example:
- Red hero has Gold Dragons, Efreet Sultans, and the Orb of Vulnerability.
- Blue hero has Black Dragons, Efreet Sultans, but doesn't have the Orb of Vulnerability.
- Red hero casts Armageddon which deals damage to everyone on the battlefield.
- Blue hero casts Armageddon which deals damage only to Red troops (i.e. Armageddon resistance of Blue's Efreet Sultans and Black Dragons is not negated).
- Red hero can resurrect Gold Dragons.
- Blue hero cannot resurrect Black Dragons.
From the description of this artifact, it might seem that if it is equipped you can cast any spells on any creatures; this is not true. Some creatures retain partial immunity to certain spells, and the following table displays this. A dash in the third column indicates that the Orb of Vulnerability truly removes all of the creature's magical immunity (with the exception of benefits granted by additional types (e.g. Elemental, Living)).
NOTE: Mind Spells: Berserk, Blind, Forgetfulness, Frenzy, Hypnotize, Mirth, Sorrow
NOTE: Fire spell immunity also makes the unit immune to Magic Arrow
