Boots of dancing

Boots of dancing were cursed magic boots that made the wearers ineffective in combat. These boots' curse was undetectable via identify, with them appearing to be a different type of enchanted boots.

Description
Boots of dancing adjusted their size to fit any creature attempting to put them on, be it a halfling or a giant.

Powers
The curse put on these boots forced the wearer to start dancing, uncontrollably, when entering a physical altercation, or even attempting to flee from one. The magic kept the wearer in place, dancing, unable to intentionally move or attack, becoming an easy target for their opponents as if affected by Otto's irresistible dance still. Boots of dancing could only be removed via remove curse.

During the calamitous period of time known as the Spellplague, the magic that enchanted boots of dancing changed. Instead of forcing the wearer to dance, making them vulnerable in combat, these boots made the wearer dance gracefully out of the way of danger once activated.

Creation
Boots of dancing could be crafted by a person proficient in creating magical items using Otto's irresistible dance spell.

History
During the mid-14 century DR, these cursed boots could be found in the Dalelands, areas surrounding Freedale and Shadowdale, as well as in the markets and ancients crypts of Zakhara.
