This cursed item type is indistinguishable from a
normal crystal ball, and it radiates magic, but not evil, if detected for.

Any magic-user attempting to use i t will become hypnotized, and a telepathic
suggestion will be implanted in his or her mind. The user of the device will
believe that the desired obiect was viewed, but actually he or she became
partially under the influence of a powerful magic-user, lich, or even some
power/being from another plane. Each further USE will bring the crystal
ball gazer more under the influence of the creature, either as a servant,
tool, or possession object. As referee, you must decide whether to make
this a gradual or sudden affair according to the surroundings and circumstances
peculiar to the finding of the crystal hypnosis ball and the character(s) locating it.
