If the item is currently under threat or attack by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw. The spell does not enable you to control the charmed item, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. You can try to give the item orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn’t ordinarily do (retries not allowed). A charmed item never obeys self-destructive or obviously harmful orders. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed item breaks the spell. Note also that you must speak the item’s language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.
Subjects resist this control, and those forced to take actions against their natures receive a new saving throw with a bonus of +1 to +4, depending on the type of action required. Subjects do not carry out obviously self-destructive orders.
