[QUOTE="Knowledge Sinkhole, post: 5792242, member: 2287"] I wonder if it wouldn't be enough for the item creator to have the [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/metamagic-feats/threnodic-spell-metamagic"]Threnodic Spell[/URL] metamagic feat. That feat, incidentally, would open up another realm of possible options for dealing with unruly thralls. [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/r/reckless-infatuation"]Reckless Infatuation[/URL] would keep it near by in the event that it did break free. A [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/g/geas-quest"]Geas[/URL] to make your thrall refrain from breaking free of your Command Undead feat would lead to a permanent thrall- however, it would require the ability to cast 8th level spells (when factoring in the metamagic feat) if you want to affect any thrall with more than 7 HD.
