Each talisman has two colors. For chakrams, elemens, and charms the first of the two colors denotes which focus may use that talisman.

Shields

There are two elements of a shield. The first color denotes absorption and the second denotes the durability.

The absorption is the percentage of damage in a hit which the shield will absorb.

The durability is the number of hit points the shield will absorb before shattering.

The Soulmaster art of Reweave can repair a damaged shield.

Color	Absorption	Durability
Chalk	2-4%	10-13
Blood	5-9%	14-17
Fire	10-14%	18-23
Gold	15-19%	24-29
Jade	20-24%	30-35
Teal	25-29%	36-40
Cyan	30-35%	41-45
Night	36-40%	46-51
Azure	41-45%	51-59
Plum	46-50%	56-60
Berry	51-55%	61-65
Sand	56-60%	66-70
Beige	61-65%	71-78
Tan	66-70%	79-85
Earth	71-74%	86-92
Abyss	75%	93-99

Chakrams

These are your projectile weapons. The first color denotes which focus may use the item, and provides a general guideline to the strength and requirements of the chakram. Higher colors (Gold, Azure, Sand and Abyss) generally suggest a more powerful chakram that requires high levels in the focus arts.

The second color shows whether it has a secondary effect or not. If the second color is chalk there is no secondary effect. These are listed below. This talisman is superior to the focus flame arts because of the possibility of secondary effects and the lack of any evoke time, meaning they may be used on the move.

Only Chakrams of Gold, Night, Sand, and Abyss can have a second effect. They are noted below by an asterisk (*) and the 2nd colors with corresponding effects are listed below.

Focus	Color	Effect

Elemens

These items will regenerate your stat points. However, they may also be cursed and do the opposite of what you expect. You can discover, and avoid using, a cursed item by first evoking the Insight art of Identify.

Alterors

An alteror grants the user the effect of a particular art, determined by the second color. The first color determines the duration of the effect, according to the color wheel (see the section on shields).

2nd Color	Effect
Blood	Vision
Fire	Resist Fear
Gold	Protection
Jade	Free Action
Teal	Chamele

Charms

Charms serve a similar purpose to alterors, but launch a ball of flame (similar to chakrams) which bestows the effect upon others. The flame deals no damage.

In the same way as alterors, the second color of charms determines the effect that will be granted (see the section on alterors for the effects). The first color in this case determines the focus that is required to use the charm. All charms require only a level of 0 in the focus arts.

1st Color	Focus
Chalk	Gatekeeper
Jade	Dreamseer
Azure	Soulmaster
Beige	Fatesender

Prime

A Prime Artifact is an Elder created Talisman which is created for and protected by a House.

Each House has their own unique Prime, and their own methods of providing it strength, usually involving mare essences.

This strength is drawn upon to deal with house matters, and to protect it. A Dreamer cannot use the art Translocate with a Prime in their possession. If a Dreamer wakes with a Prime in their possession, the Prime will drop from their pack and remain in the dream city where the dreamer woke or stormed.

Artifacts

Artifacts are Elder created Talismans.They are created for various purposes. Artifacts will never lose their coherence, and can never be destroyed. Artifacts can never leave the City of Dreams; should a Dreamer attempt to wake while in possession of Artifact, it will be dropped where they left. Also, a Dreamer cannot use the art Translocate with an Artifact in their possession.
