This spell will put out over 500 points of damage per use, and best of all it is potion belt enabled!
The reason this is important is because the potion belt will always show the number of charges / uses the item has remaining. A fully-charged lava orb has 10 charges, so keeping track of how many uses you have left is essential.
The damage is light for lvl 61, but its damage is in addition to the other casting you're doing, your pet's damage, and possibly in addition to your merc or party. I'll take it.
Only disadvantages are;
a. only 10 charges, and they get used up pretty fast
b. Lore, so you can't summon multiples and always be ready to go during long battles,
c. Damage is rather light (500-ish),
d. No trade, so you can't equip your party with these.
All in all, I give this spell an A- for usefulness. Not my favorite spell, but I like it.

This adds VERY nicely to your overall DPS.
It an extremely mana efficient nuke when you take into account all 10 charges.
It's off the GCD so you can insta-cast it as soon as you are done casting another nuke. This is amazing while in a burn phase, or just while group grinding mobs and burning them down. In current PoP content on the TLP I find I only have to recast this every 4-5 mobs if I am in a fast paced group because of the cooldown.
All in all, any mage would be foolish not to have this constant on their person and using it after every nuke.

Anyone know if this spell is craftable or not?

This spell is actually quite nice as a mana saver for finishing off mobs that like to run off on ya.
However this spell is a bit disapointing in that it is nodrop and self only target. When it was described at first it sounded like it would be a targetable spell (like modrod) This would make the spell incredibly usefull each person able to use the orb a mana free 5100dmg output (more if crits land)
The reason I assumed this would work as a targetable type spell is that the orb is usable by all caster classes *boggle*
So what needs to happen is Sony either needs to drop the caster usable tag and leave it as mage . . . or do the more sensable thing and make it either droppable or targetable

Perhaps they're leaving it open for these items to be flavor drops off of MOBs, minor task rewards, or summonable by other means, which would have to have a massive recast delay.
In any case, yes, it would be insane if other casters could just this. I could easily see people selling these along with mod rods in PoK next to the Chanter selling C5 and the Cleric with HoV.

* The spell costs 120 points/crystals from the DON Merchant
* The Orb now has 10 charges, not 3 :)))
* You can score crit hits with it :)
Actually makes it quite useful!

What is the cast time for the dd or is it insta click? Is the orb nodrop?
this spell summons an item with 3 charges of a 510pt clicky dd. Avail from DoN merchants.
