OK, so I've started reading Salvatore's Cleric Quintet novels as I've finished all the books in the Drizzt series. I'm only about 70-80 pages into the first book so far but was intrigued by the Necromancer's Stone that Barjin is carrying. I thought a stone like it might make a nice item summons (like kithix). So here's my idea, comments welcome as I've never even tried to make an item before.

It might be cool to make it loot found on one of the liches guarding kangaxx's body parts or the lich with the Nether Scroll.

Necromancer's Stone
This powerful summoning stone has been carried by many evil spellcasters in search of greater power over the years. It's origins are a mystery but there is no doubt it is a powerful magical device. Once a day, when called upon, the stone can animate a fearsome skeleton warrior from nearby remains. This warrior follows the commands of the summoner until slain or unsummoned. In addition, this stone is capable of overpowering nearby undead and bending their will to that of the spellcaster. This ability will temporarily weaken the stone however and may only be used once per day.
1/day cast Summon Skeleton Warrior (as per the mage/cleric spell at 15th level)
1/day can use Turn undead like that of a high level evil cleric (don't know if this is possible but it would be great!)
Only useable by
Evil Characters
Spellcasters (mages, clerics, bards)

Let me know what you think and if it would be possible. It might be cool even without the turn undead ability. If nothing else it would save a spell slot from skeleton warrior. Lata.
