with tiny fancy stones and painted with elaborate patterns. Its
wearer can use charm person three times per day, confusion
once per day, and dominate person once per day. The mask can
also scintillate in a multicolored pattern for 1 round three
times per day, which works like a gaze attack with a range of

negates DC 14) are dazed for 1d4+1 rounds. The gaze attack
is a mind-affecting pattern.

Witchboat: One of these rowboat-sized
wooden boats can hold
three people. They move through
the water effortlessly at a speed of
30 feet upstream or downstream and
are guided by verbal commands
from a person who knows the activation
command word. A witchboat
can even be ordered to return to a
previous location without a pilot or
passengers, and the sight of such
empty boats is common in Rashemen.
Crafted by the Witches and Old
Ones, these boats do not work outside
the boundaries of Rashemen.
A larger variety of the witchboat,
called a warboat, is made by applying
the same spells to a well-crafted felucca
(a two-masted Rashemi sailing vessel),
giving it a speed of 20 feet.
Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,
freedom of movement, fly, permanency; Market Price: 20,000
gp (witchboat), 40,000 gp (warboat); Weight: —.
Minor Artifacts
The treasuries of the Red Wizards conceal a number of artifacts
dating back to the old empires of Imaskar, Raumathar,
and Narfell.
The Ironwood: This 6-foot-long staff is cast to resemble
rough-hewn wood, despite the fact it is composed entirely
of rusted iron. It possesses many baleful and dangerous abilities.
As its primary abilities, the Ironwood gives the user
the following spell powers, which she can use at will and at
no charge:
Fog cloud
Soften earth and stone
Spike stones (DC 16)
Stone shape
