Magic 8 ball idea

I have not seen this idea floated yet so I thought I would put it out there. Since we have many toys already I don't know if there is a desire for more, but if so I propose a Magic 8 ball. For those who have no clue what this is: It's a ball with liquid inside and a pyramid shape floating in the liquid. The ball is colored like an 8 ball in billiards. You are supposed to ask a question and shake the ball so the liquid moves the pyramid shape into position within a window on the bottom of the ball. The pyramid shape contains generic answers like "not now"; "yes"; "no"; "not likely"; "maybe someday"; etc.

In Glitch though, maybe the question and answer idea could be tweaked so that instead things would happen such as "get +10 energy"; "lose +5 health" or maybe it could give you random food stuffs. Or is this beginning to sound too much like the 12 sided die?

  • Cute idea! Caveat: If it offers good individual and/or group buffs, would have to be a pricey toy.

    Blue Bubble + 12-sided die = Enchanted 11-Ball.

    Wait. Why did it lose a side when you popped the die into the bubble? That's the *magic*.
