Sphere Description

The sphere is a nearly translucent globe of light only two fingers in width.
Sparkling with brilliant red shades of color, it leaves a barely noticable trail of frost hanging delicately in the air when it moves.
It is currently not attempting to attack anyone.
This sphere was created by you.
[POINT the sphere at a target, or BREAK it to dismiss it.]
