Crown of Imperium (Magic Crown)

This is a magical item generally constructed by the court magicians of vainglorious rulers. The crown itself is constructed by a master jeweler from the finest possible materials available and should cost at least 25,000 gp. Optionally, for militaristic rulers or those whose cultures emphasize strength, this crown may be made of black iron or a similar ebony metal.
Once constructed, the crown is given to a wizard who washes it in a potion of delusion, casts enchant an item on it, and leaves it soaking in another potion of delusion for one month. During the third week, a philter of persuasiveness is poured over the crown as it soaks. During all these processes, the wizard must be careful not to touch the crown except while casting the enchant an item spell.
On the day the crown is recovered from the potion, the wizard must cooperate with an illusionist who casts change self while the wizard casts charm person or charm monster. The wizard burns the heart of a doppelganger in a brazier and passes the crown through the smoke, following this with permanency spell. The end product is a crown of imperium that makes its wearer seem more imposing, up to 15% taller, wiser, and more noble, to members of the same race or species, as well as allowing the wearer to cast the appropriate charm spell once per day.
