Notes:
Wondrous item, generic variant, common (requires attunement)
An orb of shielding is a polished, spherical chunk of crystal or stone aligned to one of the planes of existence. If you're a spellcaster, you can use this orb as a spellcasting focus.
If you're holding the orb when you take lightning or thunder damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by 1d4 (to a minimum of 0).
Quirk: Painful
You experience a harmless flash of pain when using the item.
Lore: Storm's Reminder
Fiwinka's (the gnome woman you rescued at the market) Crystal of Power was blown to pieces when it was struck by lightning. She gathered the shards but when she saw it was beyond repair, she offered each of you a piece of it as a token of this memory.
Whenever you hold this small crystal, you are reminded of that dreadful night in Gedad and the narrow escape with your life. Also, you get a harmless but irritating zap of lightning energy every time you activate it.
