Amulet of Transformation (Magic Amulet)

These amulets, carved from oak bark, are hung around the neck by cords of woven mistletoe. Each amulet enables a druid to transform into a specific animal-mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, or insect. This transformation is like the transformation ability druids acquire at the 7th level, except that it does not heal hit point damage and a druid using such an amulet radiates faintly of alteration magic when transformed. To activate an amulet, a druid must be wearing it and must speak a command word. Only one amulet may be worn at a time, and the druid must polymorph to human form before using the 7th-level transformation ability. Druids may use each amulet in their possession once per day. 
Amulets of transformation are generally found in groups of two to five. Mammal and bird forms are common; the other forms are rare, as are the forms of animals larger than a black bear or smaller than a toad. Note that two druids who use the same amulet on different occasions appear identical once transformed. The amulet allows transformation into a particular creature recognizable by druids, rangers, and members of the same creature species. When the transformation occurs, the animal form is visibly as healthy as the druid's form was before the transformation. If a druid dies in animal form, he or she reverts to original form and the amulet crumbles into dust.
