Necklace of Disguise

With as much intrigue that plays between Houses, it was inevitable a mage of some power would be able to create an item to help disguise a person as someone else.  Most necklaces of disguise are simple, usually a small, plain medallion or a House symbol.  The more powerful ones will be designed for just one person and inscribed with the person's name or their House symbol if they are attached to one on the back.  The generic, and less powerful, necklaces will also be medallions but may be stylized with creatures or flowers.  The powers of these necklaces vary, but the primary type will allow a person to take on the features of another for a certain length of time.  The more powerful versions, ones made to make someone look like a single person, will last until taken off.

The necklace will not change some one's voice, their clothes, or their mannerisms, but the necklace will change the facial features of person, the length and color of their hair and even the the appearance of their weight.  Clothes and mannerisms, along with speech, will have to be provided by the person wearing the necklace.  If for any reason the necklace is removed the illusion is dispelled.  Magical creatures and dwarves have a chance to see through such things, and thus people using the necklaces try to stay clear of them.
