The amulets can only be removed with a Remove Greater Curse or Wish spell or the death of the wearer. Each amulet must be attuned in order to gain its benefits but also its curse. As part of the attunement, the bearer must succeed at a Wisdom save (DC 15) or suffer 5d6 psychic damage. Half damage on a successful save.

Destroying the Amulets: Each amulet is connected to a chained devil (see Monster Manual). In order to destroy an amulet, you must summon the devil using the amulet as a focus. One person must attune to the amulet and stand in the middle of a summoning circle. Once the chained devil has been summoned, the bearer will be paralyzed until the devil is destroyed or dismissed. Removing the amulet deals the bearer 3d6 psychic damage and the devil is dismissed. If the devil is destroyed, the amulet explodes dealing 6d6 fire damage to the bearer and anyone within 10 feet of them.
