In the world of Myoo, few magical inventions are as widespread as the Magic Akari Orb. Used for centuries in cities, villages, camps, and palaces, it remains one of the most reliable and safest sources of light ever created by mages. The Magic Akari Orb emits a soft, steady glow without producing any heat, making it especially valuable in enclosed spaces, where it can be used without the risk of fire or smoke.
Its size varies considerably. The smallest examples fit comfortably in the palm of a hand and are often carried by travelers after dark. Larger versions can be as large as a lantern and are commonly used to illuminate halls, corridors, military tents, and underground chambers. The light produced by the Magic Akari Orb is gentle on the eyes. It neither glares nor disrupts night vision, allowing people to navigate with ease even in the deepest darkness.
Only mages can create a Magic Akari Orb, conjuring it through magic, and only they can dismiss it at will. Once summoned, the orb can float through the air and follow its creator wherever they go, keeping a steady distance as it lights the way.
Alongside these temporary versions, permanent Magic Akari Orbs also exist. Created by mages, they are installed in homes, public buildings, palaces, and military facilities. They can be activated or deactivated through voice commands or simple presence-detection spells, allowing even those with no magical ability to use them.
Regardless of size, all Magic Akari Orbs remain cool to the touch. This distinctive quality makes them safe even when placed near fabric, wood, or other highly flammable materials.
According to the oldest chronicles, their invention dates back to an ancient lineage of white mages who developed them to replace torches and fuel-burning lamps. Over the centuries, their use spread steadily until they became a familiar sight throughout much of the Empire of Myoo.
Even today, Magic Akari Orbs remain among the most widely used magical artifacts on the continent, a symbol of practical, unobtrusive magic that continues to brighten the daily lives of millions.
