Aura moderate evocation and transmutation; CL 11th
Slot —; Price 23,500 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Description
This grisly, shrunken head is said to be made from a hag so hideous that even spells ran away from her. When activating the item by pulling taut its leathery skin, a faint but foul-smelling breath escapes the head's mouth.
A spellcaster who wields this head can inject motion into a spell he has previously cast that is still active. The spell must be one that creates a passable, non-solid wall, whether straight or ringed, such as, for example, wall of fire or blade barrier, but not wall of stone. As a standard action, the wielder can cause the wall to move 5 feet away from him in a direct line, or, in the case of a ringed wall, to expand by 5 feet. Alternatively, by using a full round action, he can increase this movement to 10 feet.
If this puts the spell into an occupied square, the creature immediately receives a new saving throw as if it had walked through the wall, provided that there is a space within 5 feet where the creature can escape to. If it fails this saving throw, or if there is no free adjacent square, it is subjected to the effects of the spell, else it is moved to an adjacent square.
The skull can be used for up to 11 rounds a day. These do not have to be consecutive.
