A blackened silver amulet with a deep violet gem pulsating faintly, cold to the touch and heavy with unseen weight.

The amulet's corruption draws dark entities seeking to claim the wearer's soul.

Forged in a forgotten abyssal forge, the amulet was crafted to grant power over shadow but to enslave the bearer's soul over time.

GM Notes
- Provides necromantic boost but risks slow corruption of the wearer’s soul.
- DC 15 Wisdom save each long rest to avoid accumulating corruption effects.
- The Darkness ability is self-centered, enhancing tactical utility in shadow.
