I don't know what the orb is, so I turned it into a weapon. I was implying Camille was joking by saying he was more dangerous with it, and that mages would be able to exploit it because magic is very flexible and adaptive; so basically Camille could hit someone over the head with it. But if you want it to actually be an artifact, I'm down. As for the lord, I don't know if discussions have been turned to make him a villain, but if so I tried to give something of a possible motive.
I should actually step it up and start communicating more since hurr durr #aristocratswag so if it has anything to do with lords/kings of the kingdom, Camille's techincally supposed to know about it(but I've been too lazy communicate).
