Daemon's Cradle

This appears to be some sort of puzzle: a blue crystal surrounded by an intricate pattern of pieces of wood, inscribed with strange symbols and fastened together with black cord. The crystal contains a number of interlocking pieces, which can be carefully taken apart and manoeuvred through the cords and wood. It is, in fact, a Daemon trap. If the crystal is assembed inside the wood and cord tangle and does not contain a Daemon already, any Daemon coming within 12 yards of the puzzle will disappear into the crystal. It then will find it impossible to find its way back through the magical maze surrounding the gem. The Daemon's Cradle can only contain one Daemon at a time; any other Daemons are simply not tempted to enter the labyrinth if the crystal is occupied. If the pieces of the crystal are later taken apart, the Daemon can emerge from it. It may be angry and attack the person with the crystal or be grateful for its release and offer to do one service before departing to the Realm of Chaos.
