Shadow Orb (item)

The Orb of Light, when summoned, follows the player around and emits a dim light. It costs 40 mana to summon and follows the player for 5 minutes. It can be recast at any time to refresh the duration of the buff. The Orb of Light can move through any object, but has a very low speed, so it will fall behind when the player is moving quickly. If it falls far enough behind, it will teleport to the player's location.

The Orb of Light can be received from destroyed Shadow Orbs.
