Orbs of Unbound Magic can be found floating in locations heavily affected by the explosive release of magic into Tyria following the death of Mordremoth. Touching one will deposit a small amount of unbound magic into the player's wallet, in addition to granting a small amount of experience and replenishing mount's endurance. The ability to gather these orbs must be unlocked, either by completing the Out of the Shadows story step Reaper of Magic, or by purchasing an Ancient Mursaat Relic or Unbound Magic Gatherer.
