Pilpin's Infatuating Greed
(Enchantment/Charm)

Range:  60 yards
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  1 day + 1 day per level
Casting Time:  1 round
Area of Effect:  One person
Saving Throw:  Negates

This spell causes a person (as defined in charm person) to be overcome with tremendous greed. If the person fails a saving throw versus spell, he will want the first thing of value that he sees, and if refused, will become very angry. They will not act against their alignment or foolishly risk their life to get what they want, but will not give up until they own the item or one just like it. The person will sell or trade anything they possess to get the item. Once in possession of the item or a replica, the affected person will want the next item of value that they see, and this will continue until the spell duration expires.
For example: Mel, a lawful good ranger affected by the spell, becomes infatuated with a beautiful carriage he sees in the street. Mel attempts to buy the carriage from its owner, but the owner refuses to sell the carriage on the grounds that it's from a far away kingdom. Mel denounces him as greedy and inconsiderate. Mel then starts to journey to the distant kingdom to get one for himself. Eleven days later the spell wears off (if cast by a 10th-level wizard) and he finds himself 11 days away from home attempting to buy a carriage he has no use for.
Shandar, a chaotic evil fighter affected by the spell, spies a golden crown she just has to have. Unfortunately it belongs to her boss, a High Priest of Hisisi. Realizing that she can't just take it, she spends all the money she has to hire an assassin for the job. The mission is successful and she gets the crown. When the assassin hands her the crown, Shandar's attention is suddenly focused on the exquisite ring the assassin possesses. Quickly deciding that the assassin is no match for her in open combat, she immediately attacks the assassin. Not very smart: the assassin kills her.
The spell can be negated by a heal, wish, or a successful dispel magic. The material components are a gold piece and a small piece of lodestone.
