Wand of Beauty and Ugliness (Magic Wand)

These two wands were fashioned using lava from a volcano and are virtually indestructible. The wand of beauty can provide 1 point of comeliness for each charge expended, but it can be charged only by beating someone with the wand of ugliness. Each strike by the wand of ugliness provides one charge on the wand of beauty and reduces the victim's comeliness by 1d6 points, though it does no other physical damage. Using the wand of ugliness is a chaotic evil act, and continued use eventually changes the wielder's alignment to chaotic evil.
Each strike with the wand of beauty adds 1 point of comeliness. When a person attains a comeliness of 18, it requires 20 charges to increase comeliness another point, so a character with a comeliness of 18 must expend 20 charges to attain a comeliness of 19.
History of the Wands: When an evil sorceress created them centuries ago, the wands were thought to be indestructible. However, a group of good wizards and priests worked for months to finally fashion a method for dealing with the foul magical items. They constructed a magical container from the volcano's lava. The container consists of five parts: a sturdy box, open on the top, a red velvet cushion with indentations for the wands, a glass lid, and two metal fasteners. When the wands are sealed within the container, all of their effects are immediately reversed. The container is not only indestructible but also sentient—it wants to contain the wands.
