How do I take off cursed items?

Question

I made the mistake of wearing an amulet without identifying it, and now it turns out I can't take it off. I can't tell what effect it has while I'm wearing it, but it doesn't seem to have killed me yet. Even so, I would like to remove it until it can be properly identified.

How can I go about removing the cursed status, or short of that, how can I take it off despite its cursed status?

Removing Cursed Status

Scroll of Uncursing
Remove Curse Spell
Praying to your deity
Dipping the item into a potion of holy water will bless the item, which also results in the cursed status being removed.

Unequiping Cursed Gear

Destroying the item will result it in being, well, destroyed. Which in turn will result in it being unequiped.
- Scroll of Item Destruction
- Traps
- The Tower of Eternal Flames
- Punishment from your god
