This device appears to be nothing but a cheap medallion or piece of valueless jewelry. If a character places it about her neck, however, all can see the necklace as it really is - a golden chain from which hang a number of golden spheres. The spheres are detachable by the wearer (and only by the wearer), who can easily hurl them up to a 70-foot distance. When a sphere arrives at the end of its trajectory, it bursts as a magic fireball (DC 14). The number of spheres on each type of necklace, and their respective Hit Dice of fireball damage, are as follows:

Type I-----1-2-1,650 gp
Type II----1-2-22,700 gp

Type V-1-2-2-2-6,150 gp
Type VI1-2-2-4- -8,100 gp
Type VII12-2-2-2-9,150 gp

For example, a Type III necklace has seven spheres - one 7-dice, two 5-dice, and four 3-dice fireballs.
The more dice of damage a sphere deals, the bigger it is. If the necklace is being worn or carried by a character who fails her saving throw against a magic fire attack, the item must make a saving throw as well (with a bonus of +7). If the necklace fails to save, all of its remaining spheres detonate simultaneously, often with regrettable consequences for the wearer.
