The Black King

This small black chess piece weighs 1/8th of an oz. It is an enormously magical figurine, and may not be destroyed. If it is placed in a position where it would be destroyed, it is moved to the Abyss at a "random" location.
Whoever bears the piece gains adds 10 to their Rank in Binding Will, 0 being a Rank. Thus, if they do not know this ritual at all, they may execute it at Rank 9.
It will subtly direct its bearer towards the chessboard, whoever holds it and cannot be persuaded from this.
Although the king may not be destroyed, it may be surrendered to execute a change in reality over its hex and all the ones surrounding it. Although this is "wish" magic, it is not a wish, and may only be used to change the space it occupies.
Not much is known about the workings of this ability and wondering out loud if such and such a phrasing might produce a particular outcome is a wasted effort. If the DM doesn't understand what is intended the king either does nothing or spreads the bearer's body is reduced to a collection of teacup-sized lumps, each one scattered to a different plane of creation.
