Periapt of health

Periapts of health were common magical items worn about the neck that prevented the wearer from contracting diseases.

Description
These items were crafted with a gem, which hung on a necklace of silver chain. The gem used was often ruby, but lapis lazuli was also used, as it was cheaper. Hematite was sometimes used in the crafting of this magical jewelry, as that stone was associated with the healing arts. Those made with lapis lazuli sold for around 7,500 gold pieces.

A periapt of health gave off a faint conjuration aura to one able to detect such things.

Powers
When worn, the periapt prevented infection or contraction of any disease, including those of supernatural or magical origin.

Creation
Anyone trained in the art of crafting wondrous magical items who also knew the spell remove disease could fashion this type of amulet.
