   I thought the Idea that each orb was just a copy of the same orb, to be 
really cool.  Anyone who touched the orb could cast aid on anyone else 
touching an orb, at no range modifyer.  I'll do the fourth dimensional 
teseract math later.  What else was it that was suggested?  Oh yeah.   The 
trouble started when someone wanted to see what hapened when two orbs were 
put together.  Maybe that is where the plane of mist comes from.
   Something else came up when I was discussing the Orbs with TFT players 
around here.  We were looking for ways to make Artifact type magic items 
with the existing rules.  The idea of a self powered Strength Battery came 
up.  A big Idea.  A costly Idea.  A questionable idea.  If allowed, our 
analysis shows that it breaks down like this.

   5 points to charge a strength battery 1 point.
   a 1 point strength battery cost $1,000, and takes 1 week.
   Self powered at 5 points costs  x50

   example

   Self powered 10 point battery:  cost $500,000, time 200 weeks

   Of course for the same time and money one could get a regular strength 
battery of 100 points.
