Periapt of Foul Rotting

This engraved gem appears to be of little value. If any character keeps the periapt in her possession for more than 24 hours, she contracts a terrible rotting affliction that permanently drains 1 point of Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma every week. The periapt (and the affliction) can be removed only by application of a Remove Curse spell followed by a Remove Disease and then a Heal, Miracle, Limited Wish, or Wish spell. The rotting can also be countered by crushing a Periapt of Health and sprinkling its dust upon the afflicted character (a full-round action), whereupon the Periapt of Foul Rotting likewise crumbles to dust.
