Orbs of Annulment are used in item crafting, and are typically used to remove undesirable modifiers from otherwise powerful items. Since the removed modifier is chosen randomly, this can often bear great risk of bricking the item. Orbs of Annulment respect metamods, including Cannot roll Caster/Attack Modifiers.[1]
