The revealing spell descended onto the orb, its glass surface crackling and illuminating before promptly settling back down to its usual clear state."Well there you go..." Corin mumbled as he finally saw some kind of reaction from the otherwise dormant orb.

So what does he know about this orb so far?

That many people have touched it.
That there were no report of madness that seemed associated with it.
It doesnt look damaged.
And that there is definitely some kind of spell cast on the orb, possibly on its surface or emanating from within.

Corin levitated the orb back into its box, then turned to towards Tate "Well... its not a prophecy orb, at least not the typical kind. I'd actually like to take a closer look at it back at the Ministry, although of course thats entirely up to you if you would turn it over to us." he wasnt going to seize it, but he will file a report with Alexander. If the Minister wasnts the orb taken into custody then he will cross that bridge with Tate at a later time.
