Necklace of Strangulation

A necklace of strangulationappears to be a rare and wondrous piece of valuable jewelry and, short of the use of something as powerful as a miracleor a wish, can only be identified as a cursed item when placed around a character’s neck. The necklace immediately constricts, dealing 6 points of damage per round. It cannot be removed by any means short of a *limited wish, wish,*or miracleand remains clasped around the victim’s throat even after his death. Only when he has decayed to a dry skeleton (after approximately one month) does the necklace loosen, ready for another victim.
