This crystal device is usually about 4 square feet in
area, framed in metol, wood, etc.

It is usable only by magick-users, although
it can be affixed to a surface to operate alone by giving a
command word. A mirror’ has from 13 to 18 non-spatial/extra-dimensional
compartments within it. Any creature coming within 30’ of the
device and looking at it so as to see its reflection must save versus magic or
be trapped within the mirror in one of the cells. It is 100% probable that
any creature not aware of the nature of the device will see its reflection,
the probability dropping to 50% if the creature actively avoids so doing
and 20% if the creature is aware that the mirror traps life. When a creature
is trapped, i t is taken bodily into the mirror’. Size is not a factor, but
automatons and non-living matter (including golems but excluding intelligent
undead) are not trapped. The possessor of the mirror can call the
reflection of any creature that is trapped within to the surface of the mirror,
and the powerless creature can be conversed with. If mirror capacity is
exceeded, 1 victim (random) will be set free in order to accommodate the
latest one. If the mirror is broken, all victims are freed (usually to then
attack the possessor of the device). Note that the possessor of a mirror of
life trapping can speak a command word so as to free a trapped creature,
but the cel! of the creature must be known. Example: “In the name of
Zagig the Great I command the occupant of the 3rd cell to come forth!"
