Official: Familiar Talismans Come to Alchemy

[Fallen]

Ship's Alchemist Thris has labored through the year to formulate fancy new alchemical Familiar Talismans! She has sent her parrot to the Wizard Guild, Atrium, in the town of Wehnimer's Landing with instructions on how to create these new talismans.
The parrot has been instructed to stay around for the following two weeks and will share the alchemical formulas for upgraded and merchant style Familiar Talismans for those who ask it about the first and second recipes.

OOC:
The first formula will create a talisman that will be able to bind and summon any unaltered familiar with 100% accuracy, regardless if it is a type not normally summonable in the area. This first talisman type will not work with altered familiars.

The second formula will create a talisman that will bind and summon any altered familiar, similarly to above.

There are also a set of additional formulas that have been released that can be discovered through experimentation, and following the parrot's clues when asked about more recipes.

>>Does this still only apply to your own altered familiars (no saving someone else's design)?

Yes, a wizard can only bind a familiar they have themselves summoned or previously bound.

>>Can these second types now be merchant altered?

Familiar talismans are not likely to become options for GALD, as they require specialized training.

As your eyes traverse across the grain of an ironwood raven talisman, the misty image of a glossy coal black raven fills your vision before slowly fading away.

As your eyes traverse across the grain of a birchwood cat talisman, the misty image of a silver-eyed pure white cat fills your vision before slowly fading away.

As your eyes traverse across the grain of a maple wolf talisman, the misty image of an amber-eyed grizzled timber wolf fills your vision before slowly fading away.

As your eyes traverse across the grain of a maoral fox talisman, the misty image of a black-footed plump red fox fills your vision before slowly fading away.

As your eyes traverse across the grain of a crudely carved frog talisman, the misty image of a heavy-set bull frog fills your vision before slowly fading away.

As your eyes traverse across the grain of a cocobolo hawk talisman, the misty image of a dappled broad-winged hawk fills your vision before slowly fading away.

>>Do the upgraded familiar talismans also have 10 charges?

All of the talismans newly introduced to the alchemy system have 10 charges each.

>>Also, the bound upgraded familiar talismans don't appear to display the saved familiar description.

I hadn't coded in that functionality as the upgraded familiar talismans are really just an upgrade of the store boughts, which also do not have that functionality. However, since you expressed interest, I've added GAZE to the upgraded familiar talismans. Please let me know if you see any other issues or concerns.

I need some help with this. I keep trying and trying and I fail every time.

I made an attempt at the recipes based on the parrot. Let me know if they work or not :)

I am going to need hand holding. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Can you paste a log of a failure, and also the trinket ranks of your wizard?

[Kembal]

Those special recipes have refracts in them. Looks pretty interesting. I envy you guys.

I will do so right after I train. I only have 10k to go so I am focused on that today.
