Phoenix-necklace

Origin
Necklaces associated with the Lifefire church. Originally created by Riko Silvian, they represent a connection between the followers and the deity herself. They are usually given to new followers by clerics or paladins, who have mastered their crafting. However, they can also be given to individuals not following the religion by the demon queen herself.

Appearance and Symbolism
The necklaces have the form of a fire-bird with a red glass jewel in the center. Inside the jewel, a flame can be seen burning softly. The shape of the amulet symbolizes the phoenix, an embodiment for fire, with the power to use the flame both to harm and to heal. The flame at the center of the jewel is not an illusion, but a small part of the Lifefire deity's own flame, carefully stored to show that no matter where someone might fight themselves, the warms of the Lifefire is always with them.

Usage
The outer amulet shows no unusual effects, being nothing more than well crafted metal. The flame at the core however affects the wearer in a positive manner. Everyone wearing it enjoys the blessing of the Lifefire, with their wounds healing faster than normal, as well as recovering from illnesses at a much higher rate. Additionally, individuals trained in pyromancy can draw power from the phoenix-flame to heal the wounded or to augment their combat styles. In cases of an emergency, the jewel may be shattered by the wearer of the necklace, unleashing a burst of phoenix-fire which heals even serious wounds to the wielder while burning those nearby who are considered enemies by him. Lifefire clerics and paladins are advised to only use this ability as a last resort, due to the burst dispersing the flame and rendering the amulet useless until restored and supplied with a new flame.
