A scroll of domination is a powerful magical document that can
cast an advanced form of charm spell
over any one being normally
affected by a charm person spell. The document requires a read
magic spell to understand, and may only be used by magic-users.
When the scroll is read to enact its magic, the writing disappears
and the scroll is thereafter useless, just as if it were a scroll of
spells.
The target of this dweomer must be within 60 feet of the scroll
reader when the power of the scroll is exercised. The target is allowed
a saving throw vs. spell at -2 (with wisdom bonus/penalty
applicable); if the throw fails, the being becomes charmed and will
obey the caster?s verbal commands. And, if both caster and victim
share a common language, the victim will also obey mental commands
of the magic-user as well. This charm
power is the same as
that used by vampires (see the DMG, p. 65). The victim will
not
obey a self-destructive act, but the charm will not be broken if such
a
command is issued.
The influence of this scroll can only be broken by a dispel magic
or remove curse spell from a spellcaster of 12th level or higher, or
by
a limited wish. The charm power is of relatively short duration,
lasting only 4-16 hours. The victim will be freed of the scroll?s effect
sooner than this if he is taken farther than 60 feet from the scroll
reader (the victim will not do so of his own ?free? will), or if a
magic
circle of protection comes between the magic-user and his victim.
