Create Talen ( • • • Spirit, or • • • Spirit, • • Prime) The Spirit Ways 90 |
|
Talens are essentially single-use fetishes. Both shamans and the Changing
Breeds make use of talens as simple, portable, easily created items of magical
power. Creating a talen involves either awakening the spirit of the object that
will become the talen, or persuading a lesser spirit to lend the object some of
its Power. Once a shaman uses or destroys the object, its power is released,
infusing the user with the appropriate power. Obviously, talens are most
effective when their powers mirror some of the item's archetypal properties. [Whether a talen incorporates an awakened spirit or merely a bit of a patron spirit's Power, the talen must incorporate some tass, or else the shaman must use Prime 2 to infuse the item with Quintessence to fix the magic within the object. In many cases, talens are destroyed when they are used. The ritual necessary to create a single talen takes a minimum of eight to 12 hours to perform.] |
