Dark Orb is a Sorcery in Dark Souls. To cast a sorcery, you must use a Catalyst or Special Weapons that can cast Sorceries. 

Abyss sorcery discovered by an Oolacile sorcerer on the brink of madness. Fires Giant Dark Orb.
In contrast to standard soul sorceries, Abyss sorcery is weighty and inflict physical damage. Perhaps a human soul is closer to matter in its humanity.

Notes

• Dark Sorceries deal a combination of physical and magic damage. The magic damage is determined by the INT scaling of your catalyst (as with normal sorceries), and the physical damage is determined by the STR and DEX scaling of your catalyst.
• This extra physical damage is not shown on your catalyst, and is a hidden stat.
• Two-handing the catalyst does not increase the physical damage of Dark Sorceries.
