Necklace of Snowflakes

Aura moderate transmutation; CL 8th; Slot neck; Price 5,750 gp; Weight 1 lb.

Description

A slight chill emanates from this silver necklace that bears a clear, glass pendant. When the wearer grasps the pendant and speaks the command word as a standard action, the item allows the wearer to assume the form of a mound of snow or an ice formation roughly equal in size to the wearer. The wearer determines the exact shape, coloration, and other aesthetic features of the snowy or icy formation when the necklace is activated.

Visual and tactile inspection cannot reveal the snow or ice to actually be a magically concealed creature. of course, the wearer’s chosen shape and location — such as creating an icy statue in a tropical jungle — may arouse intense suspicion. Nonetheless to all normal tests, the wearer is an ordinary pile of snow or ice, though a detect magic spell locates a faint aura of transmutation magic on the snow or ice. While disguised as snow or ice, the wearer observes everything taking place around him just as if he were in his normal form. The wearer’s hit points and save bonuses remain unaffected. His effective Dexterity score is reduced to 0, and he has a speed of 0 feet. All clothing and gear carried or worn changes with him.

The wearer can remain in this form for 8 hours. He can dismiss this effect as a free action. The necklace cannot be activated again for 24 hours.
