This object appears to be a crystal sphere 6 inches in diameter
that radiates magic. It may only be used by a psionic character who
has one or more of the disciplines listed below. The character can
project mental pictures that he receives when using one of these
disciplines from his mind into the globe, so that the images will be
visible to non-psionic onlookers who look into the globe. The disciplines
that this item may be used with include animal telepathy,
clairvoyance, ESP, object reading, sensitivity to psychic impressions,
and telepathy. Any mental pictures that are received from the mind
of a contacted being, or images that show what a location looks like,
are depicted in the vision globe whenever a psionic character holds
the globe in both hands and employs one of the above disciplines.
The globe will remain inert if it is held by a character who cannot
use it, or if held by a ?legal? user who cannot presently employ any
of the allowable disciplines (because of a lack of psionic strength
points). The vision globe can be used as often as desired by any
character able to bring out its power.

The vision globe will not transmit sound or speech, but can depict
words if they come through as mental images (for example, if someone
pictures in his mind what the word ?dog? looks like, instead of
thinking the word ?dog? as the label that identifies a mental image
of the animal).
