Ensconce or Summon Crystal Ball

This spell was created specifically for magic users wanting to safely hide away their scrying orb for later use.

To use the Ensconce form of this spell, the caster must be holding a crystal ball in an outstretched hand. The ball is then transported to a pocket dimension, safely stored away for later recall. To use the Summon form of this spell, the caster must have a crystal ball within the pocket dimension. The ball then materializes into the caster's reaching hand.

A caster may have only one crystal ball stored away with this spell, and only the caster may access the pocket dimension. If the caster dies while their crystal ball stored away, the ball appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of the caster.

The crystal ball will suddenly appear within 10 feet of the caster if the caster is affected by a strong enough magic-diminishing effect; the Ensconce form of the spell will resist any effect that is less than the Ensconce’s level. The Summon form of the spell has no added effect when cast at a higher level.

When the Ensconce form is cast as a ritual spell, it can be cast at any level; the number of minutes required to cast the spell becomes its level x 20.
