Crystal Ball
“Are you here for a peek at my crystal ball?
The Crystal Ball is a furniture item which functions as a crafting station. Placing and pressing ⚷ Open / Activate on it grants the Clairvoyance buff. It is purchased from the Wizard for 10.
The Clairvoyance buff boosts the following magic-related stats:
- +20 maximum mana
- +5% magic damage
- +2% magic critical strike chance
- −2% mana usage
On the Desktop version,
Console version, and
Mobile version, the Clairvoyance buff lasts until the player dies or leaves the world. On the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo
version, it lasts for 10 minutes. On all versions, the buff can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon (
), by selecting the icon using Cycle Next/Previous Buff and then pressing Remove Buff (
), by selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu (
), by double-tapping the buff icon (
), or by canceling the buff from the buffs screen (
).
Unlike equipment buff items, the Crystal Ball must be placed in order to activate the buff. It can be mined with a pickaxe or drill and picked up again, even while the buff is active, which will not cancel the buff. Placement is only dependent on an adequate space of 2×2 tiles being available.

Notes
- The Crystal Ball can be activated limitlessly with no cooldown period. It is never consumed, and all players may use it to give themselves the buff.
- Activating the Crystal Ball while the Clairvoyance buff is already active resets the 10-minute buff duration.
