[[File:Sphere of battle.png]] '''''the sphere of Battle'''''

[[Orb]]

[[Spell enhancer|Enhances]] the power of the wielder's [[destructive spells]]<br>
Weakens your non-destructive magic<br>
Automatically creates a [[Iskenderun's Battlesphere|battlesphere]] when monsters are in sight; the battlesphere's power depends on your [[Conjurations]] skill.<br>

==Desirability==
The '''sphere of Battle'''<ref>{{source ref|0.30.1|art-data.txt|1568}}</ref> is useful for blaster casters, adding a [[spell enhancer]] and a level 5 spell's worth of damage. However, the loss of a regular [[shield]] (or different type of orb) can be very painful.

Characters that do not plan to use destructive magic have no use for the sphere of Battle. The spell Iskenderun's Battlesphere also becomes redundant, as you can only have one battlesphere at a time.

==History==
*This item was introduced in [[0.30]], replacing the [[staff of Battle]].
:Previously, you could hit enemies with the staff to fire the battlesphere. It only boosted the [[Conjuration]] school and the battlesphere only triggered on Conjurations spells (or staff melee attacks). It did not weaken your non-destructive spells. Also, the battlesphere's power was calculated as if you had cast [[Iskenderun's Battlesphere]], instead of purely using Conjurations skill.
