A dusty bottle lays on the corridor. |

Type: magical; Perception DC 32; Disable Device DC 32 Trigger touch; Reset none |
|
Effect |
|
If the bottle is picked up, it glows and magic runes appear on it that say, “Speak your wish and it shall be granted”. Whatever the target wishes for, the opposite will happen. So if he wishes for riches, he will be poor. If he wishes for a spell effect, the opposite will happen (damage instead of healing, penalty instead of bonus, etc). For effects that cause damage or penalties that would normally have a saving throw, the DC of the saving throw is DC 24. |
