Bowl of Watery Death
This device looks exactly like a Bowl of Commanding Water Elementals, right down to the color, design, magical radiation, and other details. However, when it is filled with water, the wizard must successfully save vs. spell or shrink to the size of a small ant and be plunged into the center of the bowl. If salt water is poured into the bowl, the saving throw suffers a -2 penalty.
The victim drowns in d6+2 rounds unless magic is used to save the character, the wizard cannot be physically removed from the bowl of watery death except by magical means - Animal Growth, Enlarge, or Wish are the only spells that will free the victim and restore normal size. A Potion of Growth poured into the water has the same effect, a Sweet Water Potion grants the victim another saving throw (a chance that the curse magic of the bowl works only briefly). If the victim drowns, death is permanent, no resurrection is possible, and even a wish cannot save the victim.
