Tingles holds the orb in the Thought Stream. He seems to be unaffected by its "ripping people to shreds" power.

The orb takes on a purple hue.

Then it pops into 4 PURPLE IMAGINATION INGOTS. Awesome. Purple Imagination Ingots are just like red ones, but things made with them shall be purple. Using both a red and a purple one when crafting something will cause the item to have a chance of being either or both colors, depending on how much of that colored ingot is present.
> Tingles: Break open the black one by constricting it in arm-coils until it pops. That should maximize the probability of Tingalium.

Tingles constricts the orb. It begins to crack and glow...

It shatters, and the shards reform into a pitch black Ingot. Tingles says that its a TINGALLIUM INFUSED IMAGINATION INGOT. It has the properties of random shifting and morphing. Normal Tingallium must be platinumized in order to reduce the shifting. Tingles can control what form the Tingallium takes though his probability manipulation powers.
Break down orbs
You break down the remaining 3 orbs into IMAGINATION INGOTS, giving you 12. Crafting time!
Imagination Ingots = 30 (25 Red, 4 Purple, 1 Tingallium Enfused)
Creative Cog = 2
