Headband of Death

Description: A band of cloth designed to be bound around the wearer's forehead. The band is made of fine, supple, black leather. In the center of the band is a flat, jet-black, circular gemstone of unearthly origin. It is not obvious how the gemstone is affixed to the band. When worn, the gemstone rests in the center of the forehead.

Major Power: The band grants a power of divination. The power operates at random intervals. Information gained is almost always accurate. It functions like this: The wielder writes a question on a scrap of paper and reads it over and over for five minutes. Then, 11-30 minutes later, if there is an answer, the wielder will receive it mentally. The answer may be cryptic or clear. This divination can be attempted at any time with any frequency - the chance of receiving an answer is randomly determined.

Minor Powers: The user can expend the following spell-like effects at will as a mental function. Casting time is as per the spell. All variables (range, duration, etc.) are as if cast by a 14th level wizard.

Vampiric Touch x 4

Summon Shadow x 2

Animate Dead x 6

Ritual Sacrifice: Healing x 7

Death Spell x 2

Once expended, these spell effects cannot be regained or recharged. After all spell effects have been used, the item loses all magical power.

Any character can use this item. If a wizard uses the item and expends three charges, he can attempt to learn the spell and put it in his spell book.
