I basically pick a spot on a corner or edge of a structure/building and it appears on it's own after a few seconds.

The top of a telephone pole or a spire would be ideal as well as the corner roof on a building. Anything that can easily be identified as a point in space that is easy to lock on to is good for this.

Idk why the orb appeared. It just did and then my body just swung to it.

Where the mind goes the body follows.
