Orb of Confusion: A crystalline sphere small enough to hold cupped in the hand, this magical orb glows with a faint white light that illuminates the frosted, colorful surface. The exterior displays a mesmerizing panalopy of shifting colors and hues, resembling somewhat a puddle of water coated with a thin sheet of oil. It is typically mounted in an ornate necklace of tin, and hangs from a pendant in the center, sitting within a fine web of tin wire.
This orb continually radiates a 15-ft.-radius burst that causes all creatures to become confused as the spell. Even the wearer of the orb is subject to this condition. There is no means to turn off this effect, other than to destroy the orb.
One tale has it that the original such orb was created by a lich as a magical item for the construct guardian of his lair. The orb of confusion is almost always found in the possession of creatures that are not subject to mind-affecting magic, such as undead, vermin, animated plants, or constructs. Any other creatures seeking to use this implement must ward themselves against its effects through some magical means, or be exceptionally strong willed to avoid its effects.
Moderate enchantment; CL 7th; Create Wondrous Item, confusion ; Price 84,000 gp.
