Dried Hag Orchid - Minor Wondrous Item

Hag Orchids: These flowers, although they often grow on the same bush, never have the same patterns. They sport some of the most varied and eleborate patterns in nature, including ordered geometric shapes and patterns, faces, and colors impossible to duplicate naturally. They grow in places that are saturated with the energies of the Kakosphere.

A fresh hag orchid is a spell trigger magic item that can be used to cast a prestidigitation cantrip by someone who has that spell on their list. The flower withers to dust afterwards.

A propely dried and prepared hag orchid is a spell trigger item that can be used to create a random magical effect.

When activated by someone who has prestidigitation, or any spell with a chaotic type, on their spell list, a dried hag orchid generates an effect just as if a rod of wonder were activated.

Dried hag orchids are fragile. This means that anytime someone carrying a dried hag orchid fails a save that would effect his equipment, hag orchids are destroyed first. All hag orchids on an individual are destroyed if this is the case.

A fresh Hag Orchid can bring up to 75 gp at market. Up to a hundred can be growing in a single patch, depending on the size of the source of chaos they are feeding on.

Weak enchantment; CL 10th; Brew Potion, Craft (Alchemy) 13+, prestidigitation, creator must be chaotic; Price 300 gp.

Treasure Value: 1st
NPC Gear: 1st

Note: You can use any random magic effect table instead of the Rod of Wonder table in the DMG. There is a link to some compiled lists here.

Math: Rod of wonder/40 for single use effect.
