White Peacock Crown

Aura faint illusion; CL 15th; Slot head; Price 26,000 gp (fully charged, 80,000); Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

This ornate headpiece is crafted of white gold, inlaid with lapis lazuli and spangled with dozens of jewels. Similar to a helm of brilliance, this item is bejeweled with enchanted stones that hold magical powers. A newly crafted white peacock crown holds 10 sapphires, 20 emeralds, 30 blue topaz, and 40 pearls. On this crown, one sapphire, three emeralds, four topaz, and six pearls retain their power, the rest having been expended long ago.

• Sapphire: scintillating pattern
• Emerald: holy smite (5d8 (10d6 vs. evil outsiders), DC 18)
• Blue topaz: zone of truth (DC 16)
• Pearl: see invisibility

Until its jewels are depleted, the white peacock crown has the following magical properties:

• The wearer can detect shapechangers at will. This functions as detect undead but reveals creatures with the shapechanger subtype.
• The wearer may command any weapon he wields to become a bane weapon against outsiders with the shapechanger subtype and also suppresses the regeneration of outsiders with the oni subtype. This is in addition to whatever abilities the weapon may already have (unless it already has this property). This command takes 1 round to take effect and lasts 1 minute.
• The crown provides continuous endure elements.

Once all jewels have lost their magic, the crown loses its powers and the gems turn to worthless powder.

Removing a jewel destroys it. Unlike a helm of brilliance, the white peacock crown provides no fire resistance and cannot explode as a result of fire damage.
