“...Once I saw a Tortle Berserker break his last weapon over the skull of a dying foe...then the strangest thing occurred, where the Tort stood was a hulking bear creature that looked as if it could rend tree and stone with just a glare if not sheer might. He...well she now, turned and remarked upon the carnage it had just wrought while sitting to meditate; “Violence is never the answer....Ohhhmmm.”...She left all the weapons and loot right there...I sold em' for a decent bit, but she kept the strange glowing boomerang she used so mercilessly before...”
A boomerang of unusual make that bears ancient symbols hearkening back to the early writings of human kind. It's surface and texture appear wooden, but also glows with a prismatic luster.
After it has been used in a battle it will cause the one carrying it; even through indirect contact such as clothing or baggage, to transform into the paragon of another race they closest resemble in personality- changing them to the point of caricature, but it also changes the personality of the new being to it's near opposite. In this state they have no memory of their other self and act accordingly as if they had always been. Any extraneous armor and clothing is altered or removed. The change is undone when the boomerang is separated from the one holding it, (perhaps if thrown again) and the victim will return to their prior state with no memory of their alter ego, but more compelled to pick up to pick up boomerang than before. If not caught or interfered with in midair it will always land nearby, embedding itself where it is clearly visible. The boomerang has no visible effect on those who have not used it against a foe.
