The orbs are an unusual new spell, one that extends over a large area, roughly the entire region of the city, with each of the orbs. It catches incoming teleport spells, and automatically redirects them to the location of the orb, although it's possible to rests this effect. They're easily sensed, from anywhere within its boundary, by someone who knows what to look for, so it would be difficult to redirect people in the city without people knowing, but it might be a valuable defensive item. It only works on true Teleport-type spells, such as Plane Shift, Teleport, and Teleport without Error, although the latter grants a bonus to resisting the pull. Once attuned to a set of orbs, a mage can easily direct his teleport to the strongly pulling aura, and land accurately, even while Plane Shifting.<br/><br/>The city seems to simply glow with magic, as he extends his senses over it. It's clear it's a major city in the region, with a population measuring in the millions, one of the massive towers in the city holding over ten thousand people, with large lifts that race up and down the interior, allowing access to all floors. In addition to the towers, blazing with magic, the most notable areas are the Mage's Academy, an ancient-looking stone structure, surrounded by newer, crystalline buildings, where young mages attend to learn their craft, and the Artificier's District, where countless craftsmen work to tirelessly produce the magical devices, throughout the city and region.
