Amulet of Light

The Amulet of Light serves a traveler who wants a controllable light source close at hand. In the story, it may be the product of an artisan's workshop, a gift from a mine guide, or a small memento of a past expedition. Its glow helps with seeing in dark surroundings; the catalog describes it as neither sunlight nor an attack against light-sensitive creatures.

Its practical advantage is being able to turn it on and off as needed. It is useful for reading a map, passing through a dark corridor, or searching for a lost object. The light may also alert the surroundings to the party's presence. The item does not itself reveal traps, invisible beings, or secret doors; such searches still require attention or another appropriate ability.

It uses the "Neck" slot and the base item is an "amulet". On command, it shines about as brightly as a lantern and can be turned off at any time. The item has no other explicitly listed requirement. Its catalog value is 10 gp. Follow the calculation and conditions of the bonus exactly; its origins in the story alone grant no additional abilities.
