Touch of Orobas is an Ancient relic that instantly upgrades every card in your deck on pickup. Similar to Shining Pearl in effect, but the key difference is that it's a "one-time on acquisition" event. Cards added afterward are not upgraded.

Value of Bulk Upgrade
- Deck at acquisition is immediately upgraded — worth multiple rest site visits
- Earlier acquisition (e.g. post-Act 1) means more fights benefit from upgraded cards
- New cards added later remain un-upgraded, so rest site upgrades are still needed
