The Great Mold Boil Helm is one of the spore-based armaments devised by demon alchemists who served under Zuggtmoy during the Demon Spawn War. The initial versions were crafted in the fungal vats of Pulax. The helm is constructed from hardened mushroom stalks and features a glassteel ball atop it. This ball houses a yellow mold suspended in a churning, bubbling liquid. The captive mold retains all the standard abilities of its kind. The wielder can release the fungal spores of this mold in a cone-shaped attack. Additional powers of the item include psionic abilities and shielding against spore-based assaults.
If the yellow mold encased within the sphere is struck by a perpetual illumination spell or sunlight, it enters a dormant state for 2 to 12 rounds. Shattering the glassteel shell surrounding it and casting a curative enchantment upon the mold will eradicate the fungal growth. However, breaking the shell will liberate a concentrated spore colony that will spread across 300 square feet and mature into a yellow mold colony over the subsequent week.
