Black Pendant

 This card is very similar to Fuhma Shuriken and Ancient Gear Tank as all are Equip Spell Cards whose effects involve increasing a monster's ATK by a certain amount and inflict that same amount as Effect damage when destroyed.

This card appears in the artworks of Sunvine Plunder and “Witchcrafter Edel”.

In terms of lore, “Witchcrafter Edel” actually created this pendant since she works with gemstones.

The effect of "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" will only negate effects that activate on the field, or that are applied as long as the monster remains on the field. It will not stop effects like those of "Sangan" or "Black Pendant" that activate when sent to the Graveyard.: Can the effect of "Alector, Sovereign of Birds" negate an effect that does not activate on the field, or an effect if the card is not on the field at resolution?

Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind: If "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" targets a "Sangan" equipped with "Black Pendant" (1500 ATK), it will have 750 ATK. When "Black Pendant" is removed from the field, "Sangan" will still have 750 ATK.: When a monster has its ATK/DEF halved by "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" while it is equipped with a card, what does its ATK become when the equipped card is destroyed?

Elemental HERO Great Tornado: Suppose "Sangan" which is equipped with "Black Pendant" (1500 ATK) has its ATK is halved by the effect of "Elemental HERO Great Tornado" (to 750). If "Black Pendant" is removed from the field, then the ATK of "Sangan" remains at 750.: After the effect of "Elemental HERO Great Tornado" is applied, what does the ATK become if an Equip Card is destroyed?

Inverse Universe: When "Inverse Universe" resolves, its effect replaces the monster's ATK and DEF values.: If an ATK is increased by an Equip Spell Card, then how does "Inverse Universe" change the ATK?
Example: "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" (1900 ATK / 1300 DEF) is equipped with "Axe of Despair" (+1000 ATK). After "Inverse Universe" resolves, "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" will have 1300 ATK / 2900 DEF. These values do not change if "Axe of Despair" is destroyed. Afterwards, if "Elemental Hero Neos Alius" is then equipped with "Black Pendant" (+500 ATK), then "Elemental Hero Neos Alius
