{{ArtifactNewSB | 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 = Negate natural {{gl|magic resistance}}, {{gl|magic immunity}} and chances to resist spells of all creatures on the battlefield. Does not affect the limitations on applicability stated in spell descriptions as well as the immunities given by artifacts. }} While not mentioned in the description, the orb also negates: * '''Secondary Skills:''' {{Ss|Resistance}} * '''Creature Abilities:''' {{Cnu|Dwarf|Battle Dwarf|name=Dwarves and Battle Dwarves}} and {{Cn|Crystal Dragon}}s' [[Magic Resistance]], {{Cnu|Unicorn|War Unicorn|name=Unicorns and War Unicorns}}' [[Aura of Magic Resistance]] * '''Artifacts:''' Resistance granted by {{An|Garniture of Interference}}, {{An|Surcoat of Counterpoise}}{{swh|noicon=|,| and}} {{An|Boots of Polarity}} {{swh|noicon=| and {{An|Pendant of Reflection}}{{-wh}}|}} The [[Orb of Vulnerability]] 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]])). {{Spell Immunity Table|showorb=}} {{user commentary| Orb of Vulnerability can give a huge advantage against enemy creatures with strong magical resistance, but it can also be used to strip allied troops immunities. For example, with the Orb [[Red Dragon and Black Dragon|Black Dragons]] can be [[Resurrection|resurrected]]. However, the Orb of Vulnerability can be a double-edged sword if the enemy has a strong damage spell, and can destroy the infamous [[Dragogeddon]] tactic unless you have [[Armageddon's Blade (artifact)|Armageddon's Blade]] or the [[Power of the Dragon Father]]. }}{{end of user commentary}} {{Artifact 'see also'}} [[Category: Relic artifacts]] __NOTOC__
