Deceit Crystal Ball

[Alulim]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pretty sure that during this time period there was a magic crystal ball in the first room on the right upon entering Deceit. If you stood in the room you could overhear people talking from somewhere through the crystal ball.

Just a bit of flavour, and memories, thought it would be cool to have that again.

Ahh so it judges you and says something referring to your spec, or spits out random phrases, sweet!

we getting this back? lol wink wink

This item exists, it lies in the last room on Deceit lvl 2, the one with the two altars and the glowing rules.

I seem to remember an static item that broadcasted others speech as well, but did not see that object in the OSI code.
