Essentially I've done the math on a once per day item that casts mind blank. Now I just need good flavor ideas about what to put it on. It doesn't need to be a slotted item because i'll put it away after I use it. Maybe a small statue of a particularly mysterious or mentally fortitude historic figure. Thoughts?
That'd be a pretty powerful item, and the fact anyone could use it means the process would be either dramatic or unusual.
I'd personally go with a spider/scarab that latches onto the forehead for 5-15 minutes blanking the persons mind before detaching and returning back its normal shape and recharges over 23 hours.
Another interesting thing would be a spectral or psychic blade that you (painfully) stab into your forehead for the effect. And the blade reforms slowly.
Third could be something similar to the eye of the void. You look into it, it looks back and causes the effect.
Just having an ordinary item you use periodically as a mundane appearing object seems kinda dull for a level 8 spell once a day for free.

I like these ideas. I think the spectral blade is the right combination of creepy fun I prefer.

Hence my request for themantic assistance.
I'd go with a little golden box. When you stare at it, your soul leaves your body and goes into the box. As a roleplaying idea, you could have to pull out the box when you want to make a moral decision.
Or a helmet that has no face - just a mirror.
So, what sort of price did you put on this? Does it work all day?

The helmet reminds me kind of Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Character in that had a plastic face and essentially had the cybernetic equivalent of Mind Blank on himself permanently. His brain was compartmentalized so that if he was ever captured/mind broken into it'd wipe all information regarding his clients and the previous day or so. So he could never rat out his clients.
Back on topic, Do you want negatives on the item? Perhaps as suggested you need the item to make moral choices. Or perhaps you have to carry the item while its in effect or your soul temporarily leaves your body as per magic jar.

It's a 1/d item. The spell itself lasts 24 hours.
Yeah, if I was GM, I'd price it higher than the formulas because it is essentially a constant ability.

Except that it can be dispelled.
You would save some money by making it a slotted item, then removing it once you used the spell.
The item already exists in 3.5 as a helm, and I believe the Greenstone Amulet.
