Camellia of the Black Lady

A beautiful flower that beguiles - then punishes. A character who makes a DC 20 Knowledge (religion) check knows that the Black Lady was a notorious assassin and servant of Shar. She used subversion with beauty and poise, and the scent of sweet flowers. A camellia of the Black Lady is a creamy-white blossom worn in the hair, taking up space on the body as a headband or helmet. On close inspection, the inner whorls of the flower suggest unsettling, depraved forms. The item has a sweet, overpowering odor that carries a considerable distance. The flower remains perpetually fragrant and perfectly preserved. The wearer activates the blossom's dominate person power by choosing a humanoid target and pressing the stem (a standard action). The poison effect activates automatically once the dominate person effect ends.
When the designated target comes within 20 feet of the wearer, he must make a DC 19 Will save (DC 21 if Selûne is his patron deity) or be captivated by a dominate person effect. In addition, he is subjected to a remorseless charm effect (no save) that stills his moral conscience. The victim must follow the instructions of the wearer, no matter how dreadful those orders might be. The subject remains in the thrall of the wearer for nine days, until the dominate person effect is dispelled, or until the camellia of the Black Lady is destroyed. When the dominate person effect ends (either through the duration elapsing, a dispel magic effect freeing the victim, or the destruction of the flower), Shar's vengeance manifests finally as a poison spell, dealing 1d10 points of Constitution damage immediately and another 1d10 points of Constitution damage 1 minute later. Each instance of damage can be negated with a DC 19 Fortitude save (DC 21 if Selûne is the victim's patron deity). A camellia can be used only once.
