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

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
