This black, fist-sized orb feels faintly greasy to the touch.
When you throw a soulvoid orb against a hard surface, it explodes in a shower of orange sparks that fills a 10-foot-radius burst. Each creature within that area is affected as if by a divest essentia spell {MoI 101}.
Lore: Soulvoid orbs were first created by the githyanki for use in a struggle with a splinter group of githzerai who had taken up the practice of meldshaping (Knowledge [the planes] DC 15).
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, divest essentia {MoI 101}.
Cost to Create: 350 gp, 28 XP, 1 day.
