The Orb of Horus is a mystical object that can be categorised as a grimoire, or an ancient spell book, as stated by John Constantine.
History[]
The Orb was found by John Constantine and Oliver Queen, under a lair on the island of Lian Yu, while the latter was working for Baron Reiter.[1]
When Oliver drives Constantine to a clearing in the wilderness. Constantine says there are things on the island that terrible people shouldn't approach, although he's on the heavenly attendants. Constantine pulls up certain plants, twigs, and Earth before casting a spell, perplexing Oliver. The spell uncovers a secret passageway in the ground, and Constantine sends Oliver down a stepping stool in front of him.
Constantine clarifies that Lian Yu draws in dangerous people. He finds an inscription that translates to "just for the unadulterated of heart", so he handcuffs Oliver to a post and strolls in. Oliver un-cuffs himself and follows Constantine in. As Constantine retrieves an ancient artifact, the Orb of Horus, Oliver saves him from a trap he sprung, revealing he's not one of Reiter's men. Constantine tells Oliver he owes him one and offers to take him home, having a boat on shore, reiterating that Slam isn't what Reiter is really after on Lian Yu. However, Oliver wants to finish his mission. He reveals Conklin suspects him a lot as of now so he can't return with nothing. Constantine severs the Orb of Horus from the artifact, since the genuine power is in the "grimoire" - a spell book engraved on the staff - and he knows Reiter will only be pulled in by the shiny part. Constantine uses the staff to transfer a tattoo from his arm to Oliver's stomach, which will help him in the future. At Oliver's suggestion, Constantine punches him out to make his escape look convincing.
