Skinsaw mask CHA damage

[Kelsea Wessel]

OK so I was reading up on this mask and was a little unsure of the mechanics behind the negative effects of this mask.

Spoiler:

These enhancements grant a +2 competence bonus on Perception checks made against creatures that aren’t immune to fear. Further, the ability to see so plainly the map of a target’s arteries and veins grants the wearer a +1 profane bonus on damage with slashing weapon attacks made against living creatures. Wearing a skinsaw mask leaves hideous mental scars; when the mask is donned, the wearer takes 1 point of Charisma damage as his thoughts become tangled with images of murder.

Here are a few questions that I have about it:

Does the charisma damage stay until healed?
Are the effects permanent? (most likely not cause it doesnt say that, right?
Does this damage stack every time I put the mask on?

Ability Score Damage is healed at the rate of 1 per day to each ability score that has been damaged. (or with spells like Lesser Restoration)

Sure. Though, given who uses them, you might say for flavor reasons that when you start to like what you see, you stop taking damage from it. Like bottoming out your SAN score =)

I figured as much, I wanted to double check. Im going to be using the mask for a trip bard who follows Zon Kuthon. I felt it would be a nice flavor item for the character.

I'll see if the GM is cool with the earned tolerance to the charisma dmg.

Was thinking about this mask the other day I have a rogue/Magus that would benefit from it greatly....how ever as he is also the party face I could do with out the Cha Dmg. Given the crafting rules could ther be a way i could make one with out the Cha Dmg effect.
