Crown of stars (item)

A crown of stars was a rare and possibly unique magic item that granted many wondrous powers.

Description
The crown was a collection of extremely valuable gems that floated about the wearer's head. The gems were often mistaken for ioun stones. The light from these faintly glowing gems could not be masked by magical or normal means. The gems were bound by an invisble ring of power that could only be harmed by a disintegrate spell or a limited wish.

Powers
The wearer of the crown of stars could use each of the following powers nine times per day: dispel magic, lightning bolt, unseen servant, Evard's black tentacles, and wizard eye. The crown could also unleash a meteor swarm or death spell once per day, but using either of these powers permanently drained a randomly selected attribute from the wearer. There was also a small chance that the crown of stars would vanish and shift to another plane of existence.

History
Ilrune Symbaern, a baelnorn lich who inhabited Myth Drannor, retrieved a crown of stars from some adventurers he slew.
