Face of Xenous (Magic Box)

From the outside, this exquisitely carved, rosewood box with copper trim is a thing of beauty—inside is a thing of terror; the living face of the evil, mad Archmage Xenous Zenpor. Unwilling to die or become undead, she made a deal with the evil god, Nerull, the Reaper. Using two separate wishes, Zenpor wished—to be able to live long enough to see the enslavement of Oerth and,
that her face would always remain beautiful. The wicked Nerull granted her requests. The god ripped away Zenpor's face and placed it in a specially created box. She has slowly gone mad over the years following the granting of her wishes.
Although she has lost her spell abilities, Xenous is still a formidable opponent. When the lid of the box is opened, she can use any of the arcane abilities granted to her by Nerull. A nonevil creature that touches the box takes 4d6 points of damage and ages 14 years. Xenous can open the box using telekinesis, but cannot telekinetically move herself.
