This transparent crystal sphere faintly glows green and is the size of a small plum.

An orb of environmental adaptation provides a group of creatures relief from extreme environments. When you hold the orb in your hand and activate it, it transforms into a faintly glowing sphere of protection centered on you. The radius of this sphere can vary between 5 and 30 feet (and can be altered by you as a move action). All creatures and objects within the sphere take no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. They can exist comfortably in conditions between –50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and their equipment is likewise protected.
An orb of environmental adaptation functions for up to seven consecutive days, after which it is dormant for seven days.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, endure elements.
Cost to Create: 1,000 gp, 80 XP, 2 days.
