Amulet of Protection from Magical Influence

Magic item, Amulet

Gives a small bonus against spells that sway or control the mind.

From the book

Made of topaz and jacinth set in gold, this amulet gives its wearer +1 on saves against spells of magical influence or control. 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.
