Scroll of Domination (Magic Scroll)

A scroll of domination is a powerful magical document that can cast an advanced form of charm spell over any one being normally affected by a charm person spell. The document requires a read magic spell to understand, and may only be used by wizards. When the scroll is read to perform its magic, the writing disappears and the scroll is thereafter useless, just as if it were a scroll of spells. The target of the dweomer must be within 60' of the scroll reader when the power of the scroll is exercised. The target is allowed a saving throw vs. spell at -2 (with Wisdom bonus or penalty applicable): if the throw fails, the being becomes charmed and obeys the caster's verbal commands. And, if both caster and victim share a common language, the victim also obeys mental commands of the wizard as well. This charm power is the same as that used by vampires. The victim will not obey a self-destructive act, but neither is the charm broken if such a command is issued.
The influence of this scroll can only be broken by a dispel magic or remove curse spell from a spellcaster of at least 12th level, or by limited wish. The charm power is of relatively short duration, lasting only 4d4 hours. The victim is freed of the scrolls effect sooner than this if he or she is taken farther than 60' from the scroll reader (the victim cannot do so by "free" will), or if a magic circle of protection comes between wizard and victim.
