d100 Necromancer Relics

I'm Planing a list of demonologist/diabolist items too. Maybe some elementalist ones. I am
enjoying possibility of introducing corrupt items. Also items that carry hazards of usage of corruption. Different source items have different pros and cons.

d12 Corruption conditions
Corruption takes time usually or has some conditions

01 At first sunset after first use

02 After 3 uses of power
04 After 7 uses of power

05 If carried 24 hours
06 If carried 7 days
07 If carried next full moon
08 If used to cause death
09 When wielder takes more than half damage
10 If the item touches blood
11 If the wielder touches a dead person
12 If carried lunar month (28) days

d100 Corruption effects

01 Inadvertently act as servant to revive dead necromancer, guided by dreams
02 Will attempt possession when weak, might even argue it would save wielder
03 Starts to talk and dress like creator, WIS save or one step alignment shift
04 Small animals and plants nearby die to fuel the items power
05 Item requires a sacrifice, WIS save to snap out of doing it monthly
06 Only aroused by dead things and death, cant get interested in living beings
07 Can't stand being near the living, depend more on isolation and dead servants
08 Sleep in only coffins, crypts, sarcophagi or buried in a grave
09 Body crawling with worms, become immortal worm colony in 24 months
10 Grow increasingly hideous, CHA save monthly or lose stat point, at zero are undead
11 Death stalks you, sometimes making you loose cool in stress moments
12 Spirit of the relic can talk to you offers biased horrible advice on everything
