Black ora jewelry are rare, cursed items crafted from black ora that, unlike regularly cursed items, cannot be removed by any means once worn. An update was issued in 2013 which allowed for two different versions, uncommon and rare. Original black ora pieces were automatically grandfathered into the rare category that continues to offer both a mana dump and a spirit drain and have been given four additional verbs to play with. Uncommon jewelry continue to offer the prior verb set, but do not have the mana dump or spirit drain the rare pieces have.
