This amulet has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the Animate Dead spell from it. For 1 charge, you cast the 3rd-level version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend. If the creature was friendly to you in life, the creature does not require additional castings to reassert control after 24 hours.
The amulet regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the amulet's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the amulet crumbles into ashes and is destroyed.
Curse. This amulet is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. Until the curse is broken with remove curse or similar magic, you are unwilling to part with the amulet, wearing it at all times. In addition, if you use the amulet to cast Animate Dead, the amulet inflicts 3d6 necrotic damage on you per charge consumed. If this damage reduces the your hit points to 0, you die. If you die in this way, the amulet consumes a remaining charge to cast Animate Dead on your corpse and you become an NPC under the DM's control.
Notes: Damage, Combat
