I enjoyed this even as I looked again. And again. Also, nice title.

Nice easy meta. Luckily I didn’t need to look for long.

Solved. Had to put it down after some initial thoughts and progress, then inspiration hit and I realized what the answer was.

Solved. Very fun. Tougher grid than usual, but fair.

Posting this a month later, but here's the solution:

There are six trios of answers in which all three entries have the same clue (for instance, GRIP, MANAGE and ALIAS are all clued as “Handle”). As the title suggests, the third answer in each trio will lead to the meta answer. Ignore the first two triplets in each set and take the first letter of each third answer to spell out AMULET.
