It would be designed mainly for paladins or jailers for an enemy spell caster to prevent them from casting spells. The collar does not open using key instead through another device made for the paladin (and a member of their church in charge of prisoners) and the jailer and if tampered would set off an alarm spell.

Suzaku455 04-15-06, 08:43 AM	The anti magic field is only limited to the wearer not the location and the alarm spell is there to warn the paladin someone is messing with the collar.
Artimaeis.iii 04-15-06, 08:45 AM	To the best of my understanding, an antimagic field can't be limited just to the wearer, something like that would fall closer to globe of invunerability. Because an antimagic field would indicate that a certain area is without magic.

Under the usual transparency rules, exactly the same item would be able to quash a mage or priest's powers (restricting them to spells of a particular level works, at least if that level is low enough to prevent knock or freedom of action from working.) By the way: items that produce antimagic fields with an emanation around themselves are paradoxical because the item is inside its own antimagic field. Therefore it wouldn't produce an anti-magic field! But that means that it could! But that means that it wouldn't! But that means... A better strategy (and a killer item!) would be a lantern which produces an anti-magic cone - similar to a beholder's central eye. Even if it's just a 15' cone, that's enough for most practical mage-slaughtering purposes. One last note: As DM, be sure you want to pay the price you'll pay for introducing an item like that into the game.

Therefore it wouldn't produce an anti-magic field! But that means that it could! But that means that it wouldn't! But that means... By your argument, the spell itself is also paradoxal because the cleric casts it and then it should supress itself, then it'd begin working because the self supression was just supressed, etc. I do believe that there is a "Torc of Antimagic" printed somehere that does give a continual antimagic effect. That said, a Collar of Antimaigic Ray would cost in the area of 728,000 gp according to the DMG's pricing rules (7th level spell*13th caster level*2000*4[duration in rounds]). Simply put: only the most deadly of wizards would be caught in one of these simply because even a kingdom couldn't afford to have tons of them sitting around at once.
