Crown of Rulership (Magic Crown)

This piece of royal regalia is surmounted by 10gems, each worth 100 gp. If any are removed, the crown becomes nonmagical. The wearer of the intact crown may cast spells from it, as a 25th-level wizard. Each spell has a different command word, and each may be used once per day. The crown has 5d10 charges when first found, and each spell used drains one charge. The crown can produce charm person, web, hold person, charm monster, and hold monster.
The crown may also produce a domination effect at a cost of two charges, usable once per day; the range is 15'. If the wearer has more Hit Dice or levels of experience than the victim, the domination allows no saving throw. (Check levels first in all cases, if applicable.) If the victim's Hit Dice equal or exceed the wearer of the crown, the victim may make a saving throw vs. spell to resist the effect, but with a -8 penalty to the roll. If the victim has at least twice as many Hit Dice as the wearer, the penalty is only 4. Victims with more than three times as many Hit Dice as the wearer have no penalty at all on their saving rolls. Any victim immune to 5th- or higher-level spells cannot be affected by domination. Using domination, a wearer of the crown may command a victim to do one of the following-depart, kneel, or stop. A victim obeys as best it can; the effect lasts for one turn at most, or until the crown's wearer releases the victim, which expends no charges. If ordered to depart, the victim walks until out of the sight of the wearer and then runs away for the remainder of the turn. If ordered to stop, the victim cannot do anything except stand, respond to the wearer's questions, and breathe. If the wearer harms the victim or orders or suggests any harm, the effect ends immediately.
If the proper command word is known, the crown may be locked to the user's head; another command word unlocks it. The crown can be worn only once by any one creature; if it is removed for any reason and then replaced, it slays the user (no saving throw). Replacing it must be voluntary; there is no effect if it is placed on the head by another.
