Effects

An amulet of magical breathing allows you to breath without air, which means you can travel underwater safely, although your potions, scrolls and spellbooks will still dilute/blank. When using an amulet of magical breathing you cannot choke over your food.

Identification

This amulet can be easily identified by falling into water: if you don't attempt to crawl out, the amulet must be magical breathing.

Messages

Message	Reason
"You fall into the water. You sink like a rock. But you aren't drowning. You touch bottom."	You fell into the water while wearing the amulet
"You stuff yourself and then vomit voluminously."	You were saved from choking by the amulet

N.B. these are the same messages given when polymorphed into a monster that survives without air.

Strategy

This amulet can save you from drowning yourself and from being drowned. It is thus a good thing to be wearing while fighting sea monsters toe-to-toe. It can also function as an imitation tinning kit: tinning a corpse reduces its nutrition to a manageable amount (thus allowing you to eat several giants); this amulet lets you eat any sized corpse without worrying about choking (you still get the intrinsic if you vomit).
