Health Amulet (Magic Amulet)

A common Northern belief is that illness is a form of possession, the influence of evil spirits that have taken control of the afflicted person's spirit. A fever, for example, stems from the spirit's subjection to flames inflicted by evil spirits. For this reason, many health amulets also protect from possession, or even have powers of exorcism. Health amulets come in countless varieties. The moiganis, for example, is supposed to protect against diseases of the lungs. It is left to the DM to devise individual health amulets and empower them.
For example: One powerful moiganis may keep the bearer from contracting any lung ailments and may in addition provide a bonus of +4 on saving throws against inhaled spore attacks (yellow mold, basidirond-others).
Cursed health amulets increase the chance of contracting diseases, or reduce the bearer's chance to save successfully against appropriate attack forms.
