Wizard Familiar Talisman

A Wizard Familiar Talisman aids the wizard in summoning a particular type of familiar.

Usage

First the wizard must attune themselves to the talisman by waving a "binding" runestone at the talisman. If the talisman has not already been bound to a familiar (i.e., it is "blank"), the talisman must then be attuned to a familiar by waving the talisman at the familiar.

NOTE: Unless pre-attuned via alchemy or through a merchant, talismans can only be attuned to a familiar currently called by the wizard. Wizards cannot attune talismans to another wizard's familiar.

Once attuned to the wizard and to a familiar, the wizard finalizes the talisman by casting Call Familiar (920) at the talisman. Once finalized, the wizard may summon their preferred familiar by preparing Call Familiar and CASTing the spell at the talisman.

Tiers

There are four tiers of Familiar Talismans:

Tier 1

Available for purchase in Wizard Guild shops. When bound to a familiar, it will summon similar types available in the region. It is in the form of a wooden talisman.

Tier 2 talisman

These can be crafted via Alchemy in the form of a carved wooden talisman. When bound to an unaltered familiar, it will summon the same familiar to the Wizard's side, regardless if that familiar is not native to the region. This tier does not bind to unique/altered familiars.

Tier 3 talisman

These can be crafted via Alchemy in the form of a subtly carved wooden talisman for generic usage or in specific styles using special recipes. When bound to an altered or unaltered familiar, it will summon the same familiar to the Wizard's side.

Tier 4, Auction talisman

Available only through special events, these come prebound to a pre-altered, or custom familiar. The talisman will never crumble and will attune to the first Wizard who uses it. The familiar may also have unique ambient messaging. Due to the rare nature of these talismans, they cannot be altered.

Familiar talismans that are tier 1 through 3 can be altered by specially trained merchants.

Existing in the Alchemy system are special Tier 3 talismans. These are the same as the subtly carved talismans except that they are pre-bound to a familiar listed below.

The fat red parrot eyes you and shifts from leg to leg before answering slyly, "Oh, I do be thinking I heard m'Mistress Thris a'sayin' somethin' bout more recipes. 

She did be mutterin' somethin' on 'bout crimson dust, an' colored light. I wager only wizarding alchemists o'th'highest caliber should dare be tryin' experimentin', though!"

These familiar talismans are created unbound, and require the wizard to wave a Binding Runestone at the talisman, followed by a cast of 920 in order to attune the talismans. After that, they can be used like any bound talisman.
