Primordial Talisman (Ribbons)

Steel Realms
Primordial (Ribbon) Talismans are minor trinkets that encapsulate minor effects (mostly against element-based effects) that are often sold by practitioners of mystical powers. Ribbons are easily affixed, can be kept uncontaminated in a container, don’t break, and are imminently portable and concealable. These require an anima font for the materials to be laid in, meditation skill, and a special Ritual used to make it. It must be affixed to the external, visible surface for the effect to be used.

Each takes a temporary 1 Essence Attunement; normally only a single one may be attuned at any given time. The number attuned increases with an appropriate Aptitude rating.

Occult Ribbons: these are tied to the orders that make them and use purified materials used for rituals. Materials are those used in official vestments worn or used by the order.

Clergy Ribbons: Organized faiths use holy garments – sanctified vestments for Followers – or covers made for altars and sacred places.

Wylde Ribbons: Made from twine, animal hair, natural dyes, leaves, spider silk and the like.

Weald (Faerie) Ribbons: The elves use things for talismans akin to Wylde (Ribbon) Talismans but materials are from the local Weald. Twice Woven Ribbons are made by the local Faerie Wind Weavers of the Weald, they can never have entered the Schan-Karr of the Elven Wealds they are tied to. These invigorate the wearer while in the Weald or on a mission for it.
