Crown of Stars (Magic Crown)

This rare, possibly unique magical item is a circle of floating, apparently unattached gems: palm sized emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and diamonds of at least 14,000 gp value each. They glow with faint, twinkling magical radiances that can't be magically masked or dimmed (and show even through magical darkness). From afar, they are often mistaken for Ioun stones.
Invisible fields of magic bind the gems together in a ring that can't be broken by any known physical attack or magical means short of a successful limited wish or disintegrate spell (the crown saves vs. spell as if it was a 20th-level wizard). Crown powers can only be used by a being wearing it. In a day (24-hour or 144-turn period), it can unleash the following powers nine times each (range and effects as if cast by a Wizard of 20th-level, except as noted): dispel magic, lightning bolt (9d6 points of damage, 90' range), unseen servant, Evard's black tentacles, wizard eye (a variant; a user's spectral eye appears as a wraith-like, intangible head, encircled by the twinkling lights of the crown; a user can't be attacked through this image, but can be identified). It can also unleash a death spell and a meteor swarm once per day, but using either of these greater powers permanently reduces a randomly chosen attribute of a wearer by one point, and there is a three in 10 chance that it vanishes, shifting to another plane (without the wearer), immediately after the power takes effect.
