Driftglobe

A driftglobe is a magic item that can be commanded to shed light of varying strengths and float while following the person who commanded it.

Appearance
A driftglobe is a glass sphere six inches in diameter weighing one pound.

Traits
The driftglobe can be activated by speaking one of its command words, at which it will cast either the Light or Daylight spell as indicated by the user. The Daylight effect refreshes at dawn each day.

It can also be commanded, while it is illuminated, to float no more than 5 feet from the ground within 60 feet of the person who spoke the command, and will follow that person within 60 feet. If prevented from doing so, the light will go out and it will sink to the ground.

History
The Mighty Nein found the driftglobe among a collection of treasure within the second seal of Uk'otoa beneath Gravid Archipelago. Caleb identified it as using the elvish command word "tawhaj" (occasionally spelled "tawaj") to cast Light and "fajar" to cast Daylight.

Notable uses
The party used the driftglobe frequently as a light source, notably to illuminate the mural of Torog in the caves beneath Bazzoxan and by Veth when exploring the Genesis Ward. Caleb also made use of the Daylight spell in fights against several enemies, including the chasme in the Braan, the Sorrowsworn, and Vokodo.
