A good choice of transplant from tales of Baba Yaga &c., but since it is a transplant, I would prefer it to be true to the original and have the comb actually transform into the illusory forest, reverting back to be picked up when the spell is over. Or go a completely different route and transform the comb into a permanent, material forest. As written, it takes an existing idea and transforms it into something that feels like an ordinary Pathfinder style item, which doesn't sound like RPG Superstar material to me. tBut "Witchwood Comb" is the perfect name. :)
EDIT: To those asking what it's based on or finding examples elsewhere, this comes from a type of fairy tale that ends with the villain [e.g. basketballlegends the witch Baba Yaga] pursuing the hero [e.g. a young girl], who uses a variety of mundane objects given to her by her mother or a helpful animal to slow down her pursuer. One of these is a comb that sprouts into a forest; another is a handkerchief (I think) that turns into a sea. The morale suppressor is original as far as I know, though.
I agree with what you're saying, what you're writing can be really great.
