Malevolent powers operate whenever a major <link:II> or primary <link:II> power of the

above (item description or Table). Effects can be successive and cumulative.

E.5	Item has power to affect its possessor when a primary power is used  if the character has not followed the alignment or purposes of the  artifact/relic.
F.6	Item is a prison for a powerful being; and there is a 1%-4%  cumulative chance per usage that it will break free, kill the possessor's  soul, and, using his or her body, proceed to slay oll associates  and henchmen of this character.
G.7	Item is itself a living, sentient being forced to serve; but each usage  of a of a primary power gives a 1%-3% cumulative possibility that the  spell will be broken and the being will:      1) change the possessor into a like artifact/relic      2) geas/quest the possessor to perform a mission of its choosing      3) kill the possessor      4) mentally enslave the possessor for a period of 2-8 weeks
H.8	Item is powerless against and hates 1-3 species of creatures, and  when within 10 " of any such creatures i t forces its possessor to attack

Body rot affects extremities - toes, fingers, eors, nose, lips, eyelids,
hands, feet, arms, legs, heod in that order - 1 member per operation.
Nothing can prevent the loss or restore the member.

Geas/quest fulfillment enables the possessor to oct freely until primary
power use once again operates this power.

Life force freeing and associated entrapment of the possessor's soul will
likewise free the life force of a player character (and restore his or her
body) if and when another character so uses the item.

Where creature types are called for, select powerful types which would be
logically connected to the item, usually foes of its creator or alignment or
purpose.

    4) 12 years for half-elves
    5) 20 years for gnomes

C.3	Fear reaction possible in any creature within 20' of the item whenever  a maior or primary power is used; all, including possessor, must  save versus magic or flee in panic
D.4	Fumble reaction possible (as C. above)
E.5	Greed and covetousness reaction in all intelligent creatures viewing  the item; save versus magic or attack possessor and steal the item -  associates are only 25% likely to have to check; henchmen check  loyalty first, failure then requires saving throw as above
F.6	Lycanthropy inflicted upon the possessor, type according to alignment  of item, change to animal form involuntary and 50% likely (1  check only) whenever confronted and attacked by an enemy
G.7	Treasure within 5' radius of mineral nature (metal or gems) of nonmagical  type is reduced by 20%-80% as the item consumes i t to  sustain its power
H.8	User becomes ethereal whenever any maior or primary power of the  item is activated, and there is 5% cumulative chance that he or she  will thereafter become ethereal whenever a stress (combat, life-ordeath,  difficult problem involving user's decision) situation exists;  the ethereal state lasts until stress is removed
I.9	User becomes fantastically strong (18/00 - 19 if 18/00 already) but  very clumsy; so dexterity is reduced by as many points as strength  was increased, and so no "to hit" bonuses are allowed for strength,  and a -2 for clumsiness is given instead; furthermore, the individual  must be checked as if he or she has a fumble spell cast upon him or  her whenever any item is handled or spell is to be cast by the user
J.10	User cannot touch or be touched by any (even magical) metal;  metal simply passes through his or her body as if it did not exist and  has no effect

L.12	User has limited omniscience and may request the DM to answer 1  question per game day (answer is given with limitations set by D M s  discretion, with overall campaign factors and knowledge of player  vs. player character overriding considerations)
M.13	User has short-duration super charismatic effect upon creatures of  the same basic alignment - evil, good, neutral (chaotic, lawful, true) - so that they will willingly ioin and serve the character for 1-  4, 2-8, or 3-12 turns (depending upon how exact the alignment  match is); thereafter the effect of the dweomer wears off and the  c r e a t u r e will no longer serve due to realization of the enchantment  and fear of it (and hostility is possible)
N.14	Whenever any power of the item is used, temperature within a 6"  radius is raised 20°-50° F. for 2-8 turns (moves with item)
O.15	Whenever the maior or prime power of the item is used, temperature  within a 6" radius is lowered 20°-80° F. for 2-12 turns (moves with item)
P.16	Whenever the prime power is used the possessor must save versus  magic or lose 1 level of experience
Q.17	Whenever the prime power is used, those creatures friendly to the  user within 20'. excluding the user, will sustain 5-20 hit points of  damage
R.18	Whenever this item is used as a weapon to strike an enemy, it does  double normal damage to the opponent but the wielder takes  (normal) damage just as if he or she had been struck by the item
