Splotchers

Splotchers are a type of object used in the sport of splotching. They are known to come in blue, pink, and many other vibrant colors. In the first book they are used in the Ultimate Splotching Championship, in which the prodigies faced off in order to get a pardon. These objects are later referenced to be used by the councillors in their own championship of sorts. Then again in Lodestar, they are mentioned to be used when practicing outward channeling. They are similar to paintballs.
