Map of Misleading (Magic Map)

This map appears to be exactly the same as a map of mapping until it is used, but the map records many terrain features falsely. There is a 1% chance per level of any wizard using an identify spell for the true nature of the map to be detected. Unless the user makes a saving throw vs. spell upon using a charge, they believe the map is entirely accurate, despite whatever sort of terrain they actually see (the user believes the actual terrain to be an illusion or hallucination). Anyone besides the user who looks at the map is required to make a saving throw as above at +2 or fall under the map's spell. The map's user, of course, believes nothing contrary to their own delusions. Though the user does not resist having the map taken from them, the loss or destruction of the map does not cure delusions, seeing doors that don't exist, walls in open spaces, and similar fancies. After a week, the user will not be able to function. Onlookers are similarly affected. A remove curse followed by a dispel magic are required to ward off these ill effects. The remove curse should be cast on the person currently using the map. It affects everyone else under the map's spell if this is done; otherwise, only one onlooker is freed from the map's power. The dispel magic spell then entirely removes the map's ill effects from any one victim (or from all at once if cast upon the map's user). If only the remove curse spell is cast on the victim, the former delusions return unless dispel magic is cast within a day. Dispel magic alone is useless. It is believed that the improper creation of a map of mapping results in the production of a map of misleading. These maps have no charges as such.
