Jade Amulet

Item

Image
Description	This strange little amulet is shaped a bit like a winged sphinx. Aside from tiny little dots for eyes, it has a smooth, featureless face. Your best guess is that the green stone this is made from is some sort of jade, but it could really be almost anything. Probably the most impressive part is how the darker body and lighter wings are actually part of the same stone, just carefully chosen. Holding the thing weighs your mind down like an anchor, which could be considered a good thing or a bad thing depending on the situation.

Uses

Adventuring with this equipped for a while can give:

A distant howling comes closer and closer until you notice a dark shape barreling towards you. The wind tearing underneath its wings creates the sort of unearthly roar you'd expect it to make if it had a mouth.

It snaps its wings, stopping a heartbeat before crashing into you. The thing's tail, tipped with a razor-sharp piece of bone, snakes out towards the amulet you carry as you prepare to defend yourself.

(Fight: Winged Hunter)

(I was on the 1st floor of the damaged buildings, if it matters. Spent about 60 energy, most of it etheric, with the amulet equipped before he showed up. Thanks to Mag for the amulet.)
