Aura Strong transmutation; CL 20th
Slot head; Weight 10 lbs.
This soft, comfortable cap is adorned with a wreath of living steel roses that protrude with jagged adamantine, mithral, and living steel thorns. As a standard action, the wearer of Cassidy's crown of spiked armor can command the metallic flows to spread across his body, protecting him as a suit of +5 invulnerable chain mail of spell resistance 13 would. This armor replaces any armor that the wearer was previously using.
Furthermore, the armor is outfitted with +5 armor spikes that overcome damage reduction as adamantine and mithral weapons. Finally, the wearer can coalesce all of the armor's spikes into two massive barbs, functioning as two +3 keen punching daggers that overcome damage reduction as adamantine and mithral weapons. While the punching daggers are coalesced, the wearer cannot use other weapons or take any actions that require the use of his hands, nor can he perform the somatic components of spells. The wearer can change between armor spikes and the punching daggers as an immediate action and all weapons created by this ability share the armor's invulnerability.
Destruction: The crown must be buried deep in the endless deserts of the Plane of Time, where it sprouts into a crystal rose bush over the course of 100 years. After it has fully matured, attacking the crown with a set of armor spikes with an enhancement bonus high enough to overcome DR/epic shatters it forever but leaves the attacker lost to the ravages of time, recoverable only by divine intervention.
