Shadow Orb (item)

The Shadow Orb creates a slowly moving sphere which follows the player around and emits dim light. The orb can move through anything and casts light when submerged in water, but moves very slowly causing it to fall behind when the player is moving quickly. If it falls far enough behind, it will teleport to the player's location. It can be acquired from destroyed Shadow Orbs (20% or 1/5 chance).

Controls
The Shadow Orb can be moved up or down (on both PC and Xbox 360 console version) when the player does the following: PC - Up/Down Arrows control the orb's vertical movement. Xbox 360 - The left thumb-stick controls the orb's vertical movement.

NOTE: You CANNOT control the orb's horizontal movement, aside from moving your character horizontally in either direction until you get the orb as close as possible to where you want it to be (not that it matters much, it will always stop very close or directly on top of your character).
