'''Sources''' (formerly Orbs) are [[Wizard]]-specific restricted items found in Diablo IIIand Reaper of Souls. Sources are equipped in the [[off hand]], like and are roughly-equivalent to the Witch Doctor's [[shieldMojos]]or the Demon Hunter's, but they do not have defensive bonuses and can not be used to block with. They come in a variety of graphics (usually crystal balls, but also books, as seen in the beta), and are simply items with bonus stats, usually to offense or general bonuses. Using a Source is essentially a way for a Wizard to dual-wield [[Caster WeaponsQuivers]], at the cost of whatever defensive bonuses she might have obtained from using a shield.

As blocking is much less useful a defensive property in Diablo III than it was in Diablo IISources are offensive objects, using a Source in the off hand, purely for the which add damage and may boost other offensive bonusesstats, is not such a damaging trade off, since the shield may not be as much most valuable of a benefit to certain wizard buildswhich is [[Critical hit Chance]]. Sources They are not akin to the Necromancer's shields, and do not provide any [[blocking]] or other defensive stats like [[Armor]] or [[totemResistance]]s, and add similar bonus properties.

The Wizard is seen holding a Source in [[Cinematic: Wizard|her cinematic introduction movie]] and Sources can also be discerned in several in-game screenshots. A few sample images Sources are quite varied in appearance, ranging from "crystal ball" type glowing orbs to books, spiky balls, large eyeballs, three rotating balls, and more. Several examples can be seen in the screnshots below.
