Twisted black amulets are useful tools for demonologists, allowing protection from random damage from successful casting of Doctor Kelleflump's Deadly Demon and Kelleflump's Irritating Demon. It does not protect against damage from spell failure. For more info about the nature of the amulets read the blog post .

Long description

This piece of black-stained silver isn't quite flat, and isn't evenly rounded, as though it had been warped by a fire.  The spikes and hooks around the rim have a disturbingly organic look, and the eldritch runes spiralling around the face are never the same twice.  Occasionally, you can make out glimmers of meaning in the runes, but the bitter, doleful words always retreat and change before your mind can do more than take a glimpse of the vast, empty infinity of unpleasant truth behind the blackened silver.
Unpleasant-looking spikes and hooks of octarine light thrust at odd angles from its surface.

Acquisition

Twisted black amulets can be made via the spell Professor Flambardie's Grim Amulet, and otherwise can sometimes be purchased from wizards who have the spell or have produced a stockpile of amulets.

Dave the Most Horrid and Foul Necromancer wears one.
