The magic plague orb was a artifact created by Whistler, Pearl, and Nash with distilled pure magic in their efforts to "save" the world by evolving it with a magic plague.[1]
History[]
Using the residual magic from several items, Whistler, Pearl, and Nash formed the orb to spread a magic plague across the world. In the ensuing skirmish between the half-demons and Angel and Faith's group, Giles knocked the orb out of Nash's hands with a fireball. Despite their attempts to catch it, the orb exploded over the streets of Hackney, London, painfully transforming numerous humans below into mutants.[1]
Whistler managed to reacquire the still-intact orb with the intent on detonating it in the upper atmosphere, thus spreading its magic across the world, but Angel intervened and challenged him to a duel.[2] In the ensuing battle, exposure to the magical energies of the orb helped Whistler come to his senses, prompting him to shield the orb with his own body to stop it from infecting anyone else, sacrificing himself in the process.[3]
