Boots of Dancing
Magic item, Miscellaneous magic item
A prankster's item: ordinary-looking boots that force anyone who puts them on into a fit of wild, unstoppable dancing.
From the book
A favorite practical joke of certain eccentric magicians, these look like plain boots but give off a strong magical aura. Whoever pulls them on at once starts dancing and capering wildly, and keeps it up for 5-20 minutes no matter how hard he tries to stop.
As a greater magic item its magic is permanent and renews itself each day. Making one calls for the materials of a minor magic item and two months plus two weeks for each level of the spell it holds, with a 99% chance of success; one offered for sale usually costs at least twice its materials plus 2,000 G.P. per week of enchanting. It counts toward the seven magic items a person may carry or wear at once; go past seven and none of them works.
