A necklace of memory enhancement was a magical amulet that greatly improved the wearer's powers of recall.[1][2]

Description[]

It was fashioned from brass.[1][2]

Powers[]

The wearer became immune to all forms of memory loss, whether due to magical or natural causes, like a forget spell. Furthermore, they gained an eidetic memory, being able to perfectly recall any event witnessed, any conversation heard, or any book read up to seven days previously, though beyond this time their memory was as normal. Moreover, they had to have been wearing the necklace of memory enhancement at the time.[1][2]

It had no impact on how a wizard memorized spells or forgot them after casting.[1][2]

In the Demiplane of Dread, however, this had a hideous drawback: a horrifying experience would be recalled with absolute clarity, forever. Time did not dull the trauma, and continuing to use a necklace of memory enhancement for longer than a week afterward could drive the wearer mad.[2][3][4]
