Talisman, Mindat: Creation of Talismans is an essential element of Mindat magical traditions. Talismans are message in quality (likelihood of effect) and efficacy (power of effect). Talismans protect a single specific spell or effect, determined at creation time.
Basic: Allows +2 to saving throws versus the effort
Less: Allows +4 to saving throws versus the effort
Supreme: Allows a reroll of a failed saving throw versus the effort
