The Omnispheres

The Omnispheres are an important plot device in the Omniverse, and the source of its name.

Basic Information
It would seem that only the Primordial Deities know what the Omnispheres truly are - and even then, their descriptions are vague. Most people only give two terms to describe them: "strange" and "powerful". Those who possess them confirm that, as their accounts describe that they feel constant surges of power, and more strange sensations besides that.

The basic appearance of the Omnispheres is simple: they appear in the form of a small sphere, bearing the colors of the Element they represent and have two rings orbiting around them.

History
The History of the Omnispheres is as follows:

During the creation of the Ether and other worlds, the Omnispheres held dormant arcane power. This latent power would be unlocked as Yadasi, one of the Primordial Deities, gave mortals magic - the Omnispheres were made to sustain the arcane. Mortals soon learnt of the relics' existence, and became divided on what to do with them, some seeking to protect them at all costs, and some seeking to destroy them for their own goals. One particular woman even sought to gather them to kill the Primordial Deities - her name was Amista, and she was bent by revenge at having become one of the Fallen. Meanwhile, the Mage-Hunters' Guild was forming plans to destroy them.

Today, Amista and two of her allies have abandoned their plans at the hands of the Etherians' mercy, but the mage-hunters continue to act from the shadows in their continued quest to destroy all sixty of the arcane relics.

Effects of Use
The effects of using the Omnispheres vary widely, and can be good or bad. Their most major effect is that they either enhance a person's current abilities or grant new ones. Some other effects known to exist are:


 * Granting clairvoyance
 * Causing various illnesses
 * Inducing Warp more easily and aggravating Warp's effects on a person
 * Aggravating the effects of curses
