{{flavour|A golden orb, granting the power to unleash damnation when held — although not without draining the wielder's vitality in the process. It carries with it some of the corrosive malice of the Iron City of Dis.}}

[[File:Orb of Dispater.png]] '''''the orb of Dispater'''''

[[Orb]] 
Provides an ability to launch [[damnation]] 
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Corrode (3%) 
+5 AC 
[[Evil]]

==Mechanics==
The orb gives you an '''a'''bility to cast [[Hurl Damnation]]. However, it comes at a cost to [[HP]] and [[MP]]:

{{crawlquote|'''Spell Power''': [[Evocations]]×8 '''Damage''': 3d(8+Spell Power/5) '''Cost''': 10% HP, 4 MP '''Restrictions''': You cannot use this ability if you are under the effects of [[Death's Door]].}}

==Desirability==
The '''orb of Dispater'''<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|art-data.txt|348}}</ref> is a special orb that can only be obtained by defeating [[Dispater]], lord of the [[Iron City of Dis]].

Very few things can resist damnation damage (it's mainly just the [[demon]]s that use damnation themselves), making this orb a useful weapon against all manner of end-game monsters. Damnation ignores [[AC]], [[EV]], and all other resistances, meaning it's great at finishing off monsters or dealing with tough monsters.

Of course, by the time you've defeated Dispater, you'll have most likely found a great [[shield]], [[orb]], or two-handed weapon. Therefore, this orb faces heavy competition for the shield slot. You'll often want to keep what you were already using.

==History==
*In [[0.30]], this item was introduced, replacing the [[staff of Dispater]]. Compared to the staff, it gains the *Corrode property and +5 AC.
