PublicationPathfinder #149: Against the Scarlet Triad

This ornate pendant of brass is adorned with a vibrant blue gemstone. An aluum charm grants control over a particular aluum and lesser influence over other such constructs. As long as you wear an aluum's linked aluum charm, that aluum follows your verbal commands, including somewhat nuanced orders like "subdue this target" or "strike anyone wearing a blue robe."


Activate 2 command

Frequency once per round


Effect The charm grants you control over an aluum you can see within 60 feet, with a level equal to or lower than the charm. This has the effect of Dominate and allows a DC 28 Will save. If the aluum is currently under the control of someone wearing its linked charm, it gets a result on its saving throw one degree higher than what it rolled.

You can control only one aluum at a time using this activation, and controlling a new aluum ends the effect for one you had previously affected.


Trait Effects

Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).

Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
