Amulet of the Beast (Magic Amulet)

Two versions of the amulet exist-one is made of silver, the other of ivory. Both show the image of a wild, wolfish beast bonded in chains. Each amulet is round, and has a small hole at the top for threading a cord or chain.
The silver amulet functions only when worn by a lycanthrope. As long as the creature carries the amulet somewhere on his or her person, lycanthropy is suppressed. Even a true lycanthrope cannot change shape while holding the silver amulet. No magical force prevents its removal, but the owner may protect it by other means.
The ivory amulet, when touched to a character, gives its victim the symptoms of lycanthropy. (It does not affect creatures who are already lycanthropes.) Most ivory amulets produce “were wolves,” but a given amulet could mimic any form of the disease. The amulet is magically attached to its owner until a remove curse spell is cast. Even then, the victim must save vs. spell successfully to be free of the amulet. Not every victim wants such freedom, however. When the amulet is gone, so are the symptoms of lycanthropy.
