By appearance this metal hat is simply a
typical helmet.
By test, it will radiate an indeterminate dweomer. Once
placed upon the head, however, its curse immediately takes place, and
the alignment of the wearer is radically
altered -- good to evil, neutral to
some absolute commitment (LE, LG,
CE,
CG)
as radically different from
former alignment as possible. Alteration in alignment is mental and,
once
effected, is desired by the individual whom the magic changed. Only
a
wish, || alter
reality, can restore former alignment, and the affected
individual will not make any attempt to return to former alignment.
If a
paladin is concerned, he or she must undergo a special quest
and atone if
the curse is to be obliterated. Note that once a helm of opposite
alignment
has functioned it loses all of its magical properties.
