You're making the mistaken assumption that the Nautiloid at the start isn't part of what I meant when I said that.
No, I got the amulet too (though that I thought it was once per day, not unlimited?). Used the book because I destroyed it the first time, and I could see this character deciding to see what it could offer, given how many things she's in dire need of help controlling (Tadpole, Dark Urge, Wild Magic). And it's nice not having to have to switch the amulet out with whichever one I wind up using more generally this time around.
