Maddening May: Quicksilver Amulet
Aura weak transmutation; CL 9th
Slot neck; Price 49,000 gp; Weight 0.5 lbs.
DESCRIPTION
Suspended from a simple knotted sinew cord, this intricate amulet has been crafted from a combination of gold, copper, and electrum. Each face of the palm-sized talisman is opened and securely sealed behind a lens of clear quartz crystal that exposes a strange stone-like object (a petrified karz slug gland) floating in quicksilver. The bottom of the amulet is a clear crystal beaker, and the front is adorned with three spherical gemstones: one sapphire, one ruby and one emerald. The reverse boasts three small holes that appear to have needles tucked securely within.
ACTIVATION
To activate the amulet, the wearer must wear it beneath armor and clothing, allowing the flat back of the amulet to rest against their bare chest, and then depress the three embedded gemstones which function as tiny buttons.
Upon activation three small needle points project from the back of the amulet and into the wearer. The quicksilver is sucked out of the amulet and is injected into the wearer’s body. This causes the amulet to be physically attached to the body, and triggers a random (or several random) arcane effects. While the arcane effects triggered by the amulet are active, tendrils of silvery metallic veins protrude from the amulet and extend across the wearer’s chest, up the neck, and around the sides and back of the cranium—expanding and contracting in rhythm with their heartbeat.
This physical attachment of the amulet to the user lasts for the duration of the arcane effects triggered by the amulet. Afterwards, the quicksilver creating the silvery veins retracts back into the amulet and the wearer reverts to normal.
Active arcane effects activated by the amulet cannot be dismissed at will, and the only way to stop these triggered effects while their durations persist is to forcibly remove the amulet. If the amulet is forcibly removed while in use, the quicksilver instantaneously retreats back into the amulet and the user must make a DC 25 Fortitude save or suffer 3d4 points of Constitution damage and be stunned for 3d4 rounds. If the saving throw is successful, they instead take 3d6 points of damage and are stunned for 2d4 rounds. In either case, the wearer involuntarily screams out in agony as loudly as possible.
The amulet can be activated 5 times per day. When activating the amulet use the following chart to randomly determine the arcane effects activated:
d100 quicksilver amulet effect
1-5 resistance (1 minute)
6-10 detect magic (2d4 minutes)
11-15 detect poison (instantaneous)
16-20 endure elements (24 hours)
21-25 protection from [opposing alignment] (2d4 minutes)
26-30 mage armor (2d4 hours)
31-35 obscuring mist (2d4 minutes)
36-40 comprehend languages (2d4 x10 minutes)
41-45 detect secret doors (2d4 minutes)
46-50 detect undead (2d4 minutes)
51-55 enlarge person (2d4 minutes)
56-60 expeditious retreat (2d4 minutes)
61-65 jump (2d4 minutes)
66-70 reduce person (2d4 minutes)
71-75 protection from arrows (2d4 hours)
76-80 resist energy (2d4 hours)
81-85 detect thoughts (2d4 minutes)
86-90 tongues (2d4 x 10 minutes)
91-95 Roll for 2 additional random arcane effect *
96-99 Roll for 3 additional random arcane effect *
100 Roll for 4 additional random arcane effect, and double durations if applicable. *
* Rolls for additional arcane effects do not stack. If this option is rolled as a result of a previous roll, assume whichever option allows the most additional rolls as the new total number of effects to be randomly determined and roll again. When rolling for multiple arcane effects in a single activation of the quicksilver amulet , if the same effect is rolled more than once, roll again for a different power.
