Thet of Ptah

Thet of Ptah
Wondrous Item, Legendary (requires attunement)
Aura: Very Strong Abjuration and Transmutation

This amulet is said to be rarely bestowed upon individuals who craft exceptionally impressive works of artifice. While wearing it, the amulet constantly projects an antimagic field, as the spell, with one exception: spells you cast with a duration of instantaneous are not affected by the field projected by the amulet. You can use an action to suppress the field for 1 minute.

So long as the field is not active, you can use the amulet to cast the etherealness spell. Once you have used this property, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Amulet of the Spirit

Amulet of the Spirit
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires attunement)
Aura: Moderate Necromancy

Appearing as a small gold disk on a thin chain. While you wear this amulet you cannot be charmed, frightened or possessed, and any spell or ability that would trap, imprison or otherwise prevent your soul from being free automatically fails. 

If you die while attuned to the amulet, your soul is held in stasis within the amulet so long as it remains on your body and no other creature attunes to it. Time spent in stasis does not count against the time limit for spells such as raise dead.

Amulet of Sleeplessness

Amulet of Sleeplessness
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (requires attunement)
Aura: Minor Enchantment

While wearing this amulet, you cannot fall asleep- either naturally or through magical means. In addition, you do not suffer the regular ill effects from failing to complete a long rest each day.

Curse. You cannot gain the benefits of a long rest so long as you wear the amulet. Unless you naturally do not need sleep, then for each week you go without sleep, you gain one level of exhaustion, which cannot be removed by any means until the curse is broken and you are no longer attuned to the amulet.

Amulet of Spinecastle

Amulet of Spinecastle
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires attunement)
Aura: Moderate Enchantment

This amulet was originally created to aid in a war against a tribe of northern barbarians. While wearing the amulet, you can use an action to radiate a magical burst in a 30-foot radius sphere centered on you. Each creature of your choice in the area must make a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the burst based on their challenge rating (or their level, if they do not have a challenge rating). An affected creature with a challenge rating of 4 or less is frightened of you for 1 minute or until it takes any damage, and must use its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can. If there’s nowhere to move, it can only use the dodge action. An affected creature with a challenge rating of 5-7 is stunned until the end of your next turn. An affected creature  with a challenge rating of 8 or higher has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the end of your next turn.

Once you have used this property, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
