What's inside of it?
Excellent question.
Probably sand.
But if you believe
the folklore--
and I always believe
the folklore--
that orb is a magical prison
for a phantom god
called Garraka.
See, 4,000 years ago,
Garraka served
a bloodthirsty king
called Samudari.
You know, from the Battle
of the Seven Armies,
et cetera, et cetera.
After Garraka helped conquer
half of Central Asia,
the king grew suspicious
of his ambitions.
Garraka was captured, branded,
broken and d*sfigured.
His horns, the source
of his greatest strength,
were, like, ripped
off his head.
[CHUCKLING]: Nasty stuff.
I love it. No notes.
But Garraka didn't take
too kindly to that
and went on a bit
of a m*rder bender.
His plan was to raise an army
of the undead
and wage w*r on humanity by
channeling fear into a w*apon.
Kusharit Umoti.
The Death Chill.
The power to k*ll
by fear itself.
A cold shiver runs

Your veins turn
to rivers of ice.
Your bones cr*ck.
Your lungs cave.
And the last thing you see
is your own tear ducts
freezing up.
[LAUGHING]: It's so cool.
Anyhoo, before Garraka
could collapse
the collective bronchial tubes
of greater South Asia,
he finally met his match.
His icy spell was shattered
by a roving band
of mythical spirit catchers
called the Firemasters,
who used fire and brass
to trap the evil god
inside of an orb.
The very orb you now possess.
Kind of like Ghostbusters.

of rich assholes called
the Manhattan

They would steal relics
and artifacts.
They'd get together.
They'd enjoy them
with their Beaujolais
and a couple of hookers.
Real colonial loot fest
kind of stuff.
Anyway, one night,
they took out
a particularly rare relic,
the Orb of Garraka.
And then they played
this chant,
which opened the orb.

to be a ghost for a bit.
But it's-it's experimental.
And you wouldn't want

It's not lethal.
