Crystal Hypnosis Ball (Magic Crystal Ball)

This cursed item is indistinguishable from a normal crystal ball, and it radiates magic, but not evil, if detected for. Any wizard attempting to use it will become hypnotized, and a telepathic suggestion will be implanted in his mind.
The user of the device will believe that the desired object was viewed, but actually he came partially under the influence of a powerful wizard, lich, or even some power/being from another plane. Each further use brings the crystal ball gazer more under the influence of the creature, either as a servant or tool. The DM decides whether to make this a gradual or sudden affair according to the surroundings and circumstances peculiar to the finding of the crystal hypnosis ball and the character(s) locating it.
