Hmm. What colors are the spheres? I'm guessing this is some kind of teleporter room.

Is there anything In the reflection of the room that isn't there in reality? Also don't go touching orbs yet, we don't have enough information. We should explore further.

Practice speaking a little. What does your voice sound like?
Oh right we have signatures

You practice speaking.
Your voice resembles various beeping noises, almost cartoonish in nature; fairly standard for a botley.
Examining the spheres, each of the seven is a different color:
Blue, teal, purple, yellow, orange, pink, and red.
The empty pedestal is in between the red and blue ones.
You look up into the mirror on the ceiling.
Focusing on it, you notice that the reflected spheres look a bit lighter in color than the more vivid ones in the room.
You also note that there is a single, vivid green sphere in the reflection, on the pedestal that is empty within the actual room.

useful information to file away for later, we have another room to explore, I don't want to mess with the orbs until we absolutely have to. let's head to the next room.

Hm. Not sure if it's a coincidence that the missing orb is the same color as our map, but we can deal with that later. Next room?

You head into the next room.
It seems like a very average concrete stairway, going up one floor to another identical door.

two possibilities spring to mind. the first one is that there's weird mirror world stuff going on in the pedestal room and if you do something like look at the reflection of the green orb while reaching for it, you'll pick it up. the second is that the reflection is showing you what you need to look for in the dungeon. What the orbs do is still anyone's guess, so I suggest pressing forward. move up the stairs, what lies on 3F?

You make your way up the stairs and go through the door.
You emerge in a room much like the one you were in before - tile floor, mirrors on the walls and ceiling, colored spheres on pedestals - everything is very similar.
However, there are no pedestals without spheres in this room.
Instead, most of the spheres have a lighter color than those of the previous room, save for the green sphere, which seems to be saturated similarly to those you saw in the other room.

Look into the mirror on the ceiling. Do the spheres appear different there?

If we were on the second floor and went up... how are we on the first floor? is the map counting wrong, or is this place some weird upside-down realm. anyway I vote we press onward. new theory is that we're going to be doing a lot of orb swapping if there are further reflection rooms.

You look up into the mirror on the ceiling, and find that the spheres on the ceiling are all more vivid in color than the ones in the room you're currently in.
Though, there is an empty pedestal where the green sphere would be.
You attempt to continue into the next room, but find that the door ahead of you won't open.

OK, I think we have all the info needed to 'solve' this 'puzzle'. probobly. we may die. take the green orb from this level and take it to the mirror room on the level bellow(above?) and put it on the empty pedistal there. be prepared for magic nonsense and/or traps.

Cautiously, you pick up the green orb and place it in your pocket.
You take it down the stairwell into the previous room, and place it on the empty pedestal there.
You hear a faint, metallic click, though you can't seem to discern the location of the noise.

Yeah, just to be safe, backtrack to see if anything has changed, then go up(?)stairs and see if that door's open.

You try to backtrack to the room you woke up in, but find that the door no longer opens.
Instead, you make your way back up the stairs to the second mirror room.
You check the door, and find it unlocked.
