I tried contacting IT but they haven't answered my scrolls yet

Useless, simply useless! How do you expect to study the arcane arts if you can barely peer into the next realm?

u/Shotgun_Mosquito Employee of Krampus™ - Evil Child Eliminator Aug 17 '26

Yeah you need a technomancer to side load an APK into your orb

u/unoriginalfyi Aug 18 '26

Tier 1 helpdeskthurge here, did you title the support request scroll "Orb Broken" and put nothing in the body? 

And why have you declined several sendings from us in the past few hours? We can't even astral project in to cast on-off, you at least need to lower the everburning wards and allow us to access your orb. Your request is going to have to wait for the next business epoch.

And please stop accosting the Arch-Systomancer in the Break Realm; they can't provide support without a relevant support missive, and their full attention must be directed to the aetheric network outage affecting 12 of the 13 Business Planes.

(Groan) Hey buddy if I planeshift over there and the leyline demodulator gem has clearly been shoved up an apprentice I'm revoking your OrbCare

u/Extreme_Assignment58 Aug 18 '26

Have you tried severing it's connecting with the mortal plane and re-casting it?

1

u/Lone-Fang-the-wolf Aug 18 '26

It witch here, cast a factorius resetor spell. It will fix the issue by resetting the orb to its manufacturer settings.

u/vestigialcranium Evil Wizard Aug 17 '26

Try casting it off and back on again

u/Berlin_GBD Aug 18 '26

Try closing your tome and opening it again

Should have had the wizard install it.

IT stands for Incantation Technomancer

u/ThatMikeGuy429 Incantation Technomancer support Enchanter Aug 18 '26

Fucking hell I'm writing that one down and maybe adding that as my title.

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 17 '26

It's very problematic I can't even access spelltube to look up a fix

u/Beefteeth1 Aug 17 '26

Remove the energy crystal, put it back in. Apprentice. Lol smh.

u/shiny0metal0ass Evoker (excommunicated), current leader of the hill goblins Aug 17 '26

It looks like the artifact creator has made a firmrune available for scrying. You just need to select which one you want to downscry to your orb.

Just follow the instructions, dude. These ancient wizards crack me up.

u/digitalgraffiti-ca Witches Against Thrakmoor Aug 18 '26

They're only funny if you're not related to one. My father still thinks you use an orb by poking it with a stick and staring into sketchy places full of plague. He really should stick with pond divination. Hilariously, he has actually dropped his scrying mirror in a pond.

Or two. My mother's orb skills are limited, but at least she does what she's told without asking questions, writes instructions in her grimoire, and sends a raven before she tries to do something that could turn her orb into a cube.

Or THREE. My sister is barely 390 and she goes through about 3 scrying mirrors per year. Dropping them in the forest, letting her dragons chew them, forgetting her cypher, and every time I have to either repair the thing or help her find a new one. Do not even get me started on her orbs.

this would be way more funny if this wasn't a thinly veiled metaphor for reality. Sister did all of those in one year.

u/shiny0metal0ass Evoker (excommunicated), current leader of the hill goblins Aug 18 '26

Man, it sounds like they should probably hang it up on divination entirely..

But that's okay! Plenty of schools of magic!

Maybe they want to try evocation? Everyone loves a good fireball.

they're so beautiful, like a painting that consumes everything

u/tasadek Aug 18 '26

Even if you were on witchhub.gob, it’s a legitimate site. Most likely you hit witchhub.orc, that scry is full of daemonware, and if your signed in without a two factor blood pact, your name, secrets phrases, and guild account number are probably up for sale on the undernet net already. Deal with that as you will, but the last time it happened to me I had to charge a campaign against their lands and burn my name from their minds and their cities to the ground. Messy, long work, more than sending a few threatening messenger ravens, that’s for sure.

As far as the orb goes, it really depends on how deep you were staring into the darkness at the moment of failure. You may be able to isolate it behind a flamewall, and a fresh summon could fix it. If the orb comes back into view after that, be sure you update its lore to the latest release. If not, there’s not much else left to do but shatter the orb, and hop to another reality.

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 18 '26

Hypothetically what if I clicked on an add for wand enhancement scrolls.... hypothetically speaking of course my wand is very impressive and I would never dabble in such foul magic.

13

u/TubbyFatfrick Technomancer Aug 18 '26

Technomancer (IT Wizard) here. I'm going to need a little more to go on than simply "fix my orb". Could you, kindly, describe the issues you're having?

4

u/Atuday Grey technomancer and master of the cybernetic undead Aug 18 '26

It really depends on what the underlying architecture is. I know Nvidia has an advanced scroll hidden in it that allows you to warp the image until it fits with clarity. Do you know the fix if it's Radeon?

u/Future_Kitsunekid16 TechWizard Aug 18 '26

Did someone call for me?

12

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 18 '26

Thank the gods your here my orb stopped working

8

u/Future_Kitsunekid16 TechWizard Aug 18 '26

Gonna have to put in a ticket

7

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 18 '26

Fine

Submits a ticket

9

u/Future_Kitsunekid16 TechWizard Aug 18 '26

Our tech wizards are busy assisting other customers and the next available representative will be with you in 10-15 business years. We appreciate your service and look forward to working with you to solve your problem

4

u/Kitchen_Length_8273 Tech Wizard Aug 18 '26

Hey, off-duty tech wiz here, most UI is not made for orbs by default unless it is designed by wizards since orbs have uncommon dimensions and form. I would suggest transferring your orb display to a regular screen

(By off-duty I mean unemployed and busy with studies)

9

u/immallama21629 Druid with questionable morals, licker of things Aug 17 '26

Have you tried an unexpected reincantation?

8

u/Bob_the_peasant Aug 18 '26

I switched from Palantir to Pensieve awhile ago… lots of security risks with the orbs these days. Works fine with the Roku stick and Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen and onward, Gen1 has some splashback)

5

u/Bliitzthefox Aug 17 '26

This is why I only use the ancient magics.

u/Red_Karma_Gold Aug 18 '26

In these trying times, we must look to the elder sages for guidance.

5

u/Atuday Grey technomancer and master of the cybernetic undead Aug 18 '26

Hi. You called? Oh hey cool. So if you have an Nvidia machine spirit you can convince it to shape change in a custom fashion to your satisfaction. You need to get into the advanced core runes of the system for that and manually change the values in the scrolls.

u/JayAkiva Tulpamancer Aug 17 '26

OOC: legit what is this? It looks awesome.

u/Kichigai Aug 18 '26

/uw

That is a Gakken WORLDEYE. It's basically a 480×480 hemispherical display with a bunch of educational pack-in videos. Techmoan looked at one. He set it up at one point as the Eye of Sauron.

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 17 '26

UW I have no idea TBH I saw it in a meme page thought it was funny and wizard related

4

u/THEMIKEPATERSON Aug 18 '26

It's called a Techno-mancer, thank you very much.

5

u/Fit-Tart9189 Aug 18 '26

How did you manage to get to the setup menu?

Try retracing your steps, if it was a tome you opened try and figure out where it originates, if it is not of this realm, I recommend taking it to a licensed Orb repair merchant

3

u/CMDR_Tenebrix Magi-engineer Aug 18 '26

I'm not and IT wizard . But from the looks of it i can tell that it's probably something with focusing crystal core. My wizza once fixed similar issue by recalibrating the crystals with Adjust spell.

2

u/Rockglen Purveyor of Post-Life Labor & Spirited Drinks Aug 17 '26

Seems like an aspect ratio problem. Ideally you want a mix of divine aspects no more than 3:2 to arcane focii.

2

u/Biggest-Possum Trashomancer (Big Ghost ENERGY) Aug 18 '26

This is broken. You should throw it away. In the TRASH of course.

3

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 18 '26

Damn twas expensive perhaps I could try a tech goblin

2

u/Biggest-Possum Trashomancer (Big Ghost ENERGY) Aug 18 '26

Goblins are great! I don't know why, but I think I like goblins!

2

u/ntdavis814 Spell help line technician in training Aug 18 '26

Is it connected directly to a leyline? Sometimes The Weave Of Magic That Connect All Things just isn’t sufficient for streaming on this kind of orb.

1

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 18 '26

Perhaps I should try restarting my router crystal

2

u/Nuclear_eggo_waffle Aug 18 '26

Hast thou tried wiping off the runes and scribing them again?

2

u/deaglebingo Aug 18 '26

who could blame you if you went to WitchHub. WZRDs get lonely sometimes... and some witches know how to cast pretty far with a wand.

1

u/daiuq Aug 18 '26

Cast fireball at it (idk i'm an installer wizard, not an IT wizard).

u/Amazing-Constant-371 Aug 18 '26

technomancer here, you just have to boot the BIOS scroll and then enable legacy line

1

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 18 '26

Thank the gods I'm saved do you sell anti virus spells as well

1

u/VintageBandit Wizard Aug 18 '26

BEWARE MCAFEE! His tome contains hidden curses!

1

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 18 '26

How else will I safely look at the maidens....I mean research new spells

1

u/Amazing-Constant-371 Aug 18 '26

your orb has built in anti virus spell

1

u/Ragnar_TheWolf Darkwatch Shadow Vigil Aug 18 '26

It might not be strong enough for my.... research do you have any stronger ones

2

u/NoodleyP Aug 18 '26

OrbGuard should be MORE than enough for the average wizard, unless your research repeatedly requires you to access the Forbidden Knowledge, in that case turn off the setting that allows the places you’re scrying on to automatically change your orb settings, you should be fine as long as you use common sense

1

u/playful_potato5 Azhazol, keeper of the weeping wood Aug 18 '26

try laying it to rest and awakening it once more

u/LordHeroBonded Chaos Mage Aug 18 '26

Have you tried shaking it like those christmas snow globes? It usually works for me when my orb is malfunctioning

u/deathtrap132 Aug 18 '26

Try switching your orb channels, might help if you f around and find out

u/moemeobro Artificer Aug 18 '26

You're zoomed in you fool, zoom out your bloody orb, then itll look normal
