Crystal balls were used to gain unusual insight.
On one occasion, three Carrionites used a crystal ball to view and possibly influence remote events through a form of verbal science that appeared to 16th century human eyes as "magical". They were eventually imprisoned within it by the Tenth Doctor, (DW: The Shakespeare Code) who retained the ball within his TARDIS in perpetuity. (DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp)
On another occasion, a fortune teller on Manussa told Tegan Jovanka that she used a crystal ball to pretend to see into the future. Tegan, who was at that time possessed by the Mara, showed her an image of a snake's skull in the crystal ball. (DW: Snakedance)
