Amulet of Protection from Drowning

Magic item, Amulet

Prevents the wearer from dying by drowning.

From the book

Made of coral set in gold, this amulet keeps its wearer from dying by drowning. Amulets are usually made from at least 7 oz. of gold, silver or copper set with several gems of one kind or a single large stone, and their protection lasts as long as they are worn.

As a greater magic item its magic is permanent and renews itself each day. Making one calls for the materials of a minor magic item and two months plus two weeks for each level of the spell it holds, with a 99% chance of success; one offered for sale usually costs at least twice its materials plus 2,000 G.P. per week of enchanting. It counts toward the seven magic items a person may carry or wear at once; go past seven and none of them works.
