A crystal ball, when applied or #invoked, lets you search for a symbol on the current level, consuming a charge.
A cursed crystal ball will do nothing, explode, or cause confusion, blindness, or hallucination.
A uncursed crystal ball allows you to look for an object, monster or symbol by specifying its text character (including traps and portals, ^, but not stairs or other dungeon features). This can make a crystal ball useful for searching for the portals on the Elemental Planes. Your chance of success depends on your intelligence, with the formula being (intelligence/20). If the attempt fails, you will suffer the effects of using a cursed crystal ball.
A blessed crystal ball has no additional effect.
Applying a crystal ball will put you into a trance for 1 to 10 turns, during which time you will be helpless if attacked. A ring of free action will not prevent this.
A crystal ball can have up to 5 charges normally, but a blessed scroll of charging will set it to 6 charges (a non-blessed scroll will add a single charge, to a maximum of 5).
A crystal ball appears as a glass orb when unidentified.
The Orb of Fate and Orb of Detection are both artifact crystal balls, as is the now-defunct Palantir of Westernesse.
