Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General How and what do these things do?

Orbs--You can add them to weapons that have charm slots after you get the warrior skill which iirc is called enchant or charm weapon. But if you have equipment which you think you will wear until the end of the game then wait until you have the highest quality "orbs" to use; the process is not reversible.

Cat statuette--I never used it, but the frog statuette will enable you to run faster than you can in human form--will be handy--you will know when. Some people also like the spider statuette. Experiment with the cat--see what happens. The statuette is reusable and the effects are temporary.

Royal chain--Just another type of amulet to wear or sell.

Polymorph--read about the spell in the mage's skill path. You can click on an icon in the skill pane which will show you all skills--even those at a higher level than you have yet attained.
