I recently got into a small argument with a wizard over said wizard pondering something and getting eye damage,could you please release some guidelines on what is safe to ponder so no more wizards make that mistake?
First when pondering an orb one should first consult the Councils Orb Pondering safety checklist- Is the orb actually an orb? Or is it merely a crystal ball. [Attentping to ponder a crystal ball in lieu of an orb has an unfortunate side effects afflicting the user with the Cassandra Curse.] Confirm all pondering is relevant to the current reality or timeline if intending to take action based upon said pondering, imagining other realities is facsinating but may not be relevant to the current extant reality. Have the viewing glasses or the orb itself been enchanted with the reversal of the view of eldritch horrors and maddening truths of realities, and/or obsession with specific aspects of reality charms? [Perhaps you just want to know the distance to your local star, but are obsessed that the ratios must be equivalent to the ratio between each higher platonic solid] Has the orb itself been enchanted such that is able to contain the pressure to withhold all realities, past and future, the maddening realities of the space within space, the subliminal void and the aberrations of beings unbound and untethered to the fabrics of space-time and the ethereal aether of the spell touched realities? Once all of the above have been performed, it mostly comes down to user preference on how one should ponder their orb. Most council members prefer a comfortable chair with a writing desk or an autoscribe to record their musings, but we know some prefer to ponder on the precipice of the dreamscape and Astral realm upon their sleeping chamber. Just remember, you still have a physical body, the orb may call out to you and demand the psyche of yourself to feed its eternal parasitic hunger with the false promises of satisfaction and communal engagement, but *you* still have to sleep eat drink and use the facilities.
