The orb of charging was a tool that appeared in NetHack Plus and SLASH 6, and also appears in NetHack brass. It appears as a glass orb when unidentified.

In SLASH'EM, the orb is a deferred feature - its code can still be found in the SLASH'EM source, but has been commented out with the note of "potential for abuse".[1][2]

Effects

Applying a charged orb of charging allows you to select and recharge an item, similar to a scroll of charging, and auto-identifies the orb. The effect is dependent on the beatitude of the orb.

Nothing will happen when applying an orb of charging with no charges.

Strategy

All non-crystal ball glass orbs have a base price of 750 zm and weigh 75 aum, making it somewhat easier to tell an actual crystal ball apart from the other magical orbs. Beyond this, the three non-crystal ball orbs can only be distinguished by identification or use-testing.

Messages

This orb is burnt out.
The orb had no charges.
