Description and use

Wondrous Item, Uncommon This small sphere of thick glass weighs 1 pound.

If you are within 60 feet of it, you can command it to emanate light equivalent to that of the Light or Daylight spell (your choice).

Once used, the Daylight effect can’t be used again until the next dawn.

You can issue another command as a Magic action to make the illuminated globe rise into the air and float no more than 5 feet off the ground.

The globe hovers in this way until you or another creature grasps it.

If you move more than 60 feet from the hovering globe, it follows you until it is within 60 feet of you.

It takes the shortest route to do so.

If prevented from moving, the globe sinks gently to the ground and becomes inactive, and its light winks out.
