The Eclipsed Amulet is a striking piece of jewelry, featuring an intricately carved sun on one side and a moon on the other. It hangs from a chain, and its appearance changes based on the time of day and the wearer's intentions.
=== Powers and Properties: ===
# Light Manipulation: The wearer of the Eclipsed Amulet can manipulate ambient light to create illusions or dim their presence. Once per day, they can cast the Ghost Sound or Silent Image spell as if using a 2nd-level spell slot.
# Shadow Cloak: Once per day, the wearer can activate the amulet to envelop themselves in shadows, granting them Concealment (20% miss chance) for 1 minute. This effect can be used for both offense and defense.
# Alignment Shift: The amulet's power is tied to the wearer's alignment. During daylight hours and when they embrace the sun's side of the amulet, they gain a +2 circumstance bonus to saving throws against fear effects and attacks from undead creatures. During nighttime hours and when they embrace the moon's side, they gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Stealth checks and saving throws against charm and compulsion effects.
=== Drawbacks: ===
# Dual Nature: The wearer's alignment and intentions influence the amulet's powers. Switching between the sun and moon sides of the amulet takes a toll on the wearer's emotions and may lead to inner conflict.
# Light and Dark: The Eclipsed Amulet may draw the attention of beings associated with light or shadow, who may seek to influence or manipulate the wearer for their own purposes.
# Symbol of Duality: The amulet's dual nature may cause NPCs to view the wearer with suspicion or distrust, as they represent both light and darkness, and their true allegiance may be unclear.
=== Discovery and History: ===
The Eclipsed Amulet's origins are rooted in ancient tales of celestial battles and cosmic struggles. Some believe it was created by a long-forgotten deity to symbolize the balance between light and darkness in the world.
