The orrery of distant worlds is a magic artifact designed to facilitate communication with otherworldly intelligences.

Construction

The orrery is a portable model of Golarion's solar system, featuring removable spheres representing its sun and 10 planets. The orrery only functions when all 11 spheres are mounted. Each sphere can hold a number of spell charges similar to a staff and can be recharged by arcane spellcasters.

Use

When expanded on a surface, the orrery fixes itself in place. Its detail makes it a useful reference for questions about the solar system.

Once per month, the orrery can serve as a communication device to contact alien life. This connection is powerful enough to result in mind-affecting visions. However, if the orrery is destroyed while such a connection exists, it can cause painful feedback.
