Hymir's Steaming Cauldron (Magic Cauldron)

The vain, immortal giant Hymir created this device to produce vast amounts of superb ale for his own enjoyment and for his friends, Thor and the other Immortals. Its powers can, however, be used in other ways.
It is a black iron kettle with a handle, of a type normally found in kitchens. It is about 18 inches across and a foot high.
The kettle is inactive when it is found. It is activated by filling it with water, heating it over a fire, and then reading the powers and command words in the rising bubbles with a read magic spell. However, it is impossible to exactly duplicate Hymir's formula for the flavor of his ale, unless a sample of his ale has been tasted.
Each power is triggered by command words. The user may give the commands from up to 10 feet away. However, each power applies only to the contents of the kettle.
Suggested Powers: (All abilities are cast at 20th level.)
* Create poison (Range: touch, The only poison this will create is alcohol.)
* Container (Duration six hours; Capacity 1,000 cubic feet).
* Create water
* Change tastes (Affects 40 meals or 20 cubic feet.)
Suggested Handicap: Fumbling—whenever the user attacks another with either a weapon or spell, he or she has 1 chance in 6 of fumbling the attack.
Suggested Penalty: Memory penalties. Spellcasters—after memorizing spells, the user immediately forgets one spell of each odd-numbered spell level (up to one each of 1st-, 3rd-, 5th-, 7th-, and 9th-level spells). Nonspellcasters—the user immediately forgets how to use one weapon.
