Editing Orb of Vulnerability

{{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]])).

{{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]].
