Amulet of the Papyrus Scepter

Amulet of the Papyrus Scepter
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires attunement)
Aura: Moderate Transmutation and Necromancy

This amulet appears to be a sheaf of papyrus leaves, which grants vigor and youth. When you first attune to the amulet, your choice of Strength, Dexterity or Constitution is increased by 1 (to a maximum of 20). In addition, you no longer age while wearing the amulet. Once the amulet has stopped a creature from aging for 10 years, it becomes unattuned to that creature and they cannot attune to it again.
