This massive structure is actually what it's name implied; a giant sized organ pipes. It stand about 35 feets large. The smallest pipes are 10 feet high each while it's huge central pipe is at a towering 70 ft high. The central pipe is the source of this device's power. If played correctly (dc 10: perform-organ pipe), it produce a terrible howling, similar to those found on Pandemonium. Anyone who hear this sound must make a will save (dc 25) or enter a stage of violent rage. This rage is similar to the rage effect of the emotion spell with those diffrences: time trigger: a person who failed it's saved become enrage 12 hours after earing the sound. Before that, the person don't remember anything about the organ pipes or the ones who used it. If he slepp before the 12 hour onset, it can't rest,having terribles nightmares. violent rage: the rage last for 10 rounds. after that anoter will save is required. If it's failed, the rage continues for 10 rnd and so on. If the save is succesfull, the rage end and the personn dosen't remember anything. While in rage, the personn attack anyone in it's path. It fight to the death all the times and he has a +2 to both strenght and constitution. That's about it for now. I have some question about the magic device I've created. Should it be considered an artifact? I don't think so but I'm not sure I plan to bring it in a game for pcs of level 8-10. The story is that a small cult of Erythnul have found this items in an old temple of thier God and are starting to use it. They kidnapp normal folks, forces them to ear the sound (by keeping them in a cage suspended in front of the central pipe). After that, the release the victim and they joyfully watch as, 12 hour later, it become enraged and start killing everyone). Most of the time, this end with the local militia having no choice but to kill the unfortunate victim, much to the delight of the cult. The cult itself made some special helmet to protect themselves of the noise. So what do you think? Evvery comments will be appreciated. Also, if someone would be kind enough to tell me what would the rquirement be to build this device. Thanks a lot

The prereq would be CL10, heighten spell, rage, suggestion, craft wondrous item. The helmet that defends from it could be just earplugs, with a cost of at most 2 or 3 sp.
