Made of jade and rare red crystal, and then infused with magic, the crystal ball allows a sight into the future. Although its most frequent users are sages and wizards of high classes, certain persons of power tend to use this artifact to learn about important warnings.
The King of Darrensmithe used his crystal ball to look into the intentions of Sarus the Wizard before he ordered him to appear at the Royal Court for a trial. When Sarus refused, the King assigned General Tahoi to capture him and bring him to justice under accusations of an attempt to dethrone the king from the throne.
