THIS IS EVIL!.2. Make the alignment change gradual and make it a role-playing opportunity.  If Reakk's Helm of Wickedness ends up on the head of Bob the fighter, have it mentally offer Bob temptations ("Oooooohh Bob, I'll give you he power to spit fire out your nose if you'd just stop being soooooo lawful all the time.  I mean what are laws anyway.  Why don't you take a step towards NG huh?  That a boy.  Hey!  Whats so good about good anyway?  Ever wanted to fly at will..."</blockquote>
