Makes more sense, only remember it used in the Jewish context, I used to love the books of monsters DnD put out for campaigns, but I can’t remember shit that was in them.
It was used as such cause Gary Gygax studied a lot of religious history and incorporated a ton of religious ideas into the system, for good or not (in this case). Gygax did that a lot in D&D, the whole of it is heavily Christian coded too. Demons, angels, devils, churches, clerics, crusades, etc.
Why is the word still used? Cause if it doesn’t involve Hasbro making more money they don’t care. Offer em $20 to change phylactery to “amulet” and they’ll do it, but not before lol.
Jewish cases that hold Torah Scrolls? That’d be a weird thing for these Halloween decorations.
No, phylacteries from D&D, container that holds a lichs essence so it can’t die. Like a horcrux but less shitty and unoriginal.

I’ve always found it weird and gross that DND uses that word to mean “where liches keep their souls”. Seems a little blood libel-ish.
