Macabre finger necklace

Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

An ugly dangling finger on a string. It would look better with a ring on it.

Desirability

The macabre finger necklace is a mediocre amulet on its own. Often, just wearing an amulet of reflection or amulet of regeneration is better than a 3rd mundane ring. However, it really shines when you already have 2 great artefact rings, and need resistances (or want to wear a 3rd great ring). Also, if you're desperate for a resistance, and are unwilling to swap one of your rings out, this amulet can be useful.

The last ring slot will automatically be removed when you unequip the necklace. If your third ring is cursed by Ashenzari, you will not be able to remove the macabre finger necklace.

This item is considered evil, so the good gods forbid its use.
