This orb contains the wisdom of the gods and unlocks new guild tasks.
By activating the correct symbols on the obelisk, the device releases a cone of energy which envelops any objects in its radius. Once enveloped, the objects inside the cone of light are instantly transported to a nearby obelisk. This allowed for quick and efficient travel across a planet, and seemed to work on principles very different from Transportation rings. Similar to other element's of Ancient technology, they relied solely on control crystals to function. (SG1: "Babylon", "Arthur's Mantle")

(SG1: "Babylon", "Arthur's Mantle") A much more elaborate version of this technology was used by Merlin and Morgan Le Fay. Their obelisks could interface with the Stargate network and were capable of transporting the contents of an entire laboratory through an active Stargate to another world. This process operated at an hourly interval, with no warning to those subjected to the process. (SG1: "The Quest, Part 2")
