This strange item may be planted on a helpless foe as a standard action or thrown at an active foe as a thrown weapon (simply dissipating if it misses). When it makes contact with a creature, that creature must make a DC 15 Fort save or become helpless and immobilized as they are wrapped up in a cocoon of silvery mesh, which emerges from the victim's skin. Each day over the next week, the target may attempt a new saving throw, although the DC is increased by 1 each day. If they succeed, the transformation process is aborted and the creature can break free. In addition, any target receiving the benefits of a heal spell automatically breaks free. If the creature fails all saving throws for one week, they emerge at the end of that week as a pseudonatural creature with -6 intelligence, wisdom, and charisma (to a minimum of 3 in each of those ability scores) who is treated as hostile towards all creatures. At this point, only a wish or miracle can restore the creature to its former shape.
