The Orb of Agamotto rests in Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum in a room called the Chamber of Shadows. It usually is inside a display case with three curved legs. When summoned, the glass covering rises and the ball levitates. While powerful, the Orb has been blocked by exceptionally powerful mystic forces (such as [[Umar (Marvel Comics)|Umar]]) who do not want their exact location known. On at least one occasion, it has been used to open a dimensional portal to the realm of Agamotto. In the film ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'', the Orb is briefly shown in Odin's Trophy Room in Asgard.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Hedash, Kara|url=https://screenrant.com/odin-vault-thor-movie-marvel-objects-retcons/|title=Every Marvel Object In Odin's Vault (And How They Were Retconned)|date=June 28, 2019|website=[[Screen Rant]]|language=en-US|access-date=July 6, 2020}}</ref>
