Similarly, any item with an Ego score of 20 or higher always considers itself superior to any character, and a personality conflict results if the possessor does not always agree with the item. A better alternative would be similar to how treasure hoards are rolled to eliminate rerolling, but for the moment, I support RAW as much as possible as my primary design goal, with any deviations in the future as options.

Intelligent Items
Magic items sometimes have intelligence of their own. Magically imbued with sentience, these items think and feel the same way characters do and should be treated as NPCs. Intelligent items have extra abilities and sometimes extraordinary powers and special purposes. Only permanent magic items (as opposed to single-use items or those with charges) can be intelligent. (This means that potions, scrolls, and wands, among other items, are never intelligent.) In general, less than 1% of magic items have intelligence.

Intelligent items can actually be considered creatures because they have Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. Treat them as constructs. Intelligent items often have the ability to illuminate their surroundings at will (as magic weapons do); many cannot see otherwise.
Unlike most magic items, intelligent items can activate their own powers without waiting for a command word from their owner. Intelligent items act during their owner’s turn in the initiative order.
The cap's abilities are said to be activated by the wearer's pure intention and belief in its powers. It is not a mere accessory, but a tool that connects its wearer to the spiritual realm and harnesses the energy of the universe. However, it is necessary to use the cap with caution and integrity, as its powers can be easily corrupted if used for selfish or harmful purposes. The Buud magic cap is thought to have been passed down through chosen individuals who are deemed worthy of its powers. These individuals are said to be able to communicate with the cap and understand its will. It is believed that the cap chooses its owner based on their character and intentions.

However, it is important to remember that true magic lies within oneself and that external objects, like the Buud magic cap, are only tools to assist on the journey. The Buud magic cap continues to intrigue and captivate people's imaginations, reminding us of the wonders and mysteries that exist in the world. Whether real or merely a product of imagination, the stories and legends surrounding this magical object spark a sense of wonder and curiosity in all who encounter them..
