 Mirror of Life Trapping

Aura strong abjuration; CL 17th
Slot none; Price 200,000 gp; Weight 50 lbs.DescriptionThis crystal device is usually
about 4 feet square and framed
in metal or wood. The frame
typically depicts dragons, demons,
devils, genies, coiling nagas, or
other powerful creatures that
are well known for their magical
powers. It can be hung or placed
on a surface and then activated
by giving a command word. The
same command word deactivates the mirror. A mirror of
life trapping has 15 extradimensional compartments within
it. Any creature coming within 30 feet of the device and
looking at its own reflection must make a DC 23 Will save or be trapped within the mirror in one of the cells. A creature
not aware of the nature of the device always sees its own
reflection. The probability of a creature seeing its reflection,
and thus needing to make the saving throw, drops to 50% if
the creature is aware that the mirror traps life and seeks to
avoid looking at it (treat as a gaze attack).
When a creature is trapped, it is taken bodily into the
mirror. Size is not a factor, but constructs and undead are
not trapped, nor are inanimate objects and other nonliving
matter. A victim’s equipment (including clothing and
anything being carried) remains behind. If the mirror’s owner
knows the right command word, he can call the reflection
of any creature trapped within to its surface and engage his
powerless prisoner in conversation. Another command word
frees the trapped creature. Each pair of command words is
specific to each prisoner.
If the mirror’s capacity is exceeded, one victim (determined
randomly) is set free in order to accommodate the latest one.
If the mirror is destroyed (hardness 1, 5 hit points), all victims
currently trapped in it are freed.
