Black Wall (Magic Item)

This wall is made of pure obsidian. There is a solid black circle about 50' in diameter in front of the wall. Dragons believe that specific aromas can trigger vivid memories. By touching areas of the black wall in certain sequences, aromas are produced that enable a dragon, or any other intelligent creature, to experience racial memories of incidents occurring thousands of years before birth. If anyone touches the wall and stands in the circle, he or she feels a tingling sensation in the body and then smells a strong aroma that seems to flow from the wall and envelop his or her head. The intense effect lasts only a few seconds. Roll 1d6 and consult the following table for the aroma and the effect.
Roll	Result
1 	Sea Water
2 	Decay
3 	Violets
4 	Raking Bread
5-6 	No Effect
* Sea Water: This aroma is of sweet, salty air blowing in on an ocean breeze, triggering vague memories of living in the sea-play fully chasing fish, exploring the murky depths, breaking through the surface to catch the sun's rays. (The implication is that the one touching has evolved from some sort of marine life.) This experience is so soothing that the PC recovers 1d2 hp of damage.
* Decay: The stench of rotting meat triggers vague memories of living in a dark swamp-scraping in the mud for scraps to eat, hiding in cool caves from predators, shaking from fever chills. (The implication is that the one touching has evolved from some sort of primitive swamp-dweller). This experience is so disturbing that the toucher must succeed in a Constitution Check or lose one hp of damage.
* Violets: The fragrance of sweet violets triggers vague memories of floating in a void-formless wisps of color, distant echoed voices, flashes of soft light. (The implication is that the spirit of the one touching had an existence that predated his or her physical body.) This experience is so profound that the toucher is distracted for the next hour, making all attack rolls at -1.
* Baking Bread: This is the delicious aroma of freshly baked bread, triggering vague memories of infancy-snuggling against a warm body, bearing gentle melodies from a soft voice, watching a colorful butterfly float by in the breeze. This experience is so relaxing that the one touching immediately falls asleep (no saving throw allowed) and slays asleep until something or someone wakes the character.
