An Occult Ball (オカルトボール Okarutobōru) is a mystical object gathered from Mystery Spots in the Outside World, introduced in Urban Legend in Limbo. Somehow they are the cause of the spread of Urban Legends in Gensokyo. They are also a gameplay gimmick in Urban Legend in Limbo. Gathering the balls in battle triggers stage effects or enables the use of a Last Word.

Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details follow

The balls were originally scattered around the world hidden in Mystery Spots and later recollected by Sumireko Usami who spread them in Gensokyo. They were rumored to grant a wish to whoever collected seven of them, but this was untrue. Rather, because they are infused with energy from the Outside World, they have the potential to distort the Great Hakurei Barrier. Also, whoever gathered the balls would be instantly transported to the Outside World.

Mamizou Futatsuiwa is known to be in possession of the Gensokyo's Occult Ball, presumably allowing her to travel through Gensokyo and the Outside World. Toyosatomimi no Miko also learns the balls cannot be activated within Senkai. In the end, the balls were sent back to the Outside World and Reimu realises that the Lunar Capital ball was acting strangely, presumably controlled by someone else instead of Sumireko, leading to the events of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.

It is said that more Occult Balls exist, but only eight are named:
