Talismancer

Talismancer is one of the roleplaying Subclasses in Elder Tale.

Overview
The Talismancer is a mix between a Production and a Role-playing subclass that allows someone to create and manipulate Talismans (pieces of paper that contain various types of magic).

Talismans, due to the many self-enhancing effects they can give, can be used regardless of the main class as they can mitigate weaknesses or bolster strengths. Because of their strategic value, Talismancers are always demanded and many players combine Kannagi and Talismancer because of the abundance of barrier-strengthening amulets such as the White Hitokata. Still, one needs to know how to manage their gold as Talismans are expensive and disposable items that can easily ruin a careless player. Touko has talismans organized in his book for easy access, and is seen using explosive talismans in the battle against Ruseato of Seven Prison.

Unlike Adventurers who use the power of the amulets to battle, People of the Earth see them as good luck charms or fortune bringers and use them for everyday life purposes, like safe labours, happy marriages and plentiful harvests. In Yamato in particular, who is inspired by Japan, those who can craft and use Talismans are treated with respect and considered as a kind of priest in their society.

While there are few of them in ordinary villages, they are easier to find in sacred places and shrines. Talismancers can study their techniques in the Five Schools of Oso (one of them being in the Sacred Mountains of Oso) and the Six Schools of Ikoma (one of them situated in the Ikoma’s Sacred Mountains). To get this subclass, Adventurers have to clear a subclass-changing quest by studying under one of their masters.
