English term or phrase: dented circular form
Доброго времени суток.

These energy spheres are much larger than
the average orb and do not have the characteristic dented circular form. The edge of the sphere is fluffy rather than clearly defined. Care needs to be taken not to confuse them with distortions caused by drops of water on the camera lens.

В каком значении здесь dented -- "с вмятиной" или "зубчатый"?

Спасибо.

округлая вогнутая форма
Explanation:
Орбы, отражения от пыли, воды, насекомых при съемке со вспышкой, имеют разную форму, которая зависит от дальности и проч. Водяные брызги, в частности, дают иногда светлое пятно округлой формы с явным провалом, как у Луны, но более сглаженным.
