Talisman

Recently some ancient texts have been uncovered detailing the creation of magical charms known as Talismans. Their creation is a three-step process.

Step 1: Crafting the Talisman Core

Combining four thaumium ingots with a vis crystal in a crafting table creates an Inert Talisman Core. While magical in nature it cannot be used for much until it is charged with vast amounts of vis.

Step 2: Charging the Talisman Core

Alas, this is not an easy undertaking. Experiments have shown that your basic Vis Infuser is not able to infuse enough vis in the inert core in a short enough amount of time. All our experiments with the talismans have been done with charged cores we found along with the ancient texts. Surely there must be some way of charging them? Surely the ancients had some way of doing it?

Step 3: Adding the enchantment

Luckily, the normal vis infuser is capable of performing the final enchantment an a charged talisman core (assuming you managed to get one somehow). Simply infuse the charged core along with another item (listed below) to gain a brand spanking new talisman.

Talisman of the Void (Void Symbol)

This talisman acts almost like a portable void symbol. Right-clicking on a Void symbol while holding this talisman links it to that Void network. When you right-click next you will instantly be teleported to a Void symbol in that network as if you have stepped through one of the gates. This does not come cheaply however ? the talisman consumes a vis crystal every time it is used.

Talisman of Vigor (Distilled Hunger)

While equipped in your hotbar, this talisman will maintain your food levels at maximum. It will also restore your breath meter to full if it drops below 50%. Each of these functions consumes a charge each time it is used and the talisman has 20 charges. However, once its charges are used up the talisman is not destroyed but automatically recharges itself using a vis crystal from your inventory.

Talisman of Health (Eldritch Heartwood)

This talisman functions in much the same way as the Talisman of Vigor, except it regenerates your health instead at the rate of half a heart each second. It has 10 charges before needing a vis crystal to recharge.
