[QUOTE="Squire James, post: 4178225, member: 548"] Well, I normally consider items like Helm of Opposite Alignment to be the result of someone making some drastic mistake when trying to create a magic item. Thus, it would be difficult to actually reproduce the steps necessary to actually make one on purpose. That being said, I'd let it happen. I'd even let the Chaotic Good efreet grant wishes! Unfortunately, the wishes are really granted by the diabolic powers of Lawful Evil, and THEY decide how to fulfill them (perhaps allowing some insane DC Wisdom check to make an absolutely ironclad wish... failure means the character screwed something up even if the player didn't)! The diabolic powers are probably most interested in corrupting the priestess... given her current actions she's already part of the way there! If the player or efreet perceives this fact and avoids using the wishes, then the servitude is no great imbalance of power (the efreet will probably get killed in the next encounter anyway). None of the other powers strike me as being as abusable as, say, a Lyre of Building. [/QUOTE]
