Talismans are very special items: they're the source of your hero's power. All heroes start the game with one talisman and must always have one (and only one) on them at all times. There are others that can be found or earned and your hero will have the option to pick which they want to use. Besides letting your character be a super hero, each talisman always has at least one benefit and one

weakness. Powerful talismans may have several of each. Which you choose is up to you, and you can switch them at any time, but the switch comes with a terrible price: part of your experience is locked up inside the talisman you wear, and switching to another drains your hero of 10% of his or her experience points (capped at 20,000 XP). The hero does not lose any skills or levels, but must regain the XP before being able to advance any further.

There is also a Talisman Transmogrifier in the Hideout, which allows your hero to drastically alter their starting talisman, an act so drastic it changes the hero's class and resets your hero all the way to level 1.

Talisman Tabernacle and Transmogrifier

Talisman Tabernacle

This little nook is where you store your talismans.

Your current talisman is: (Current Talisman)

You have no other talismans and thus cannot switch them (OR)

If you'd like you can switch to another talisman. Be careful, though! Part of your experience is tied up in the talisman you wear. Switching talismans is likely to leave you weaker. (You will lose 10% of your XP, up to 20k). You have the following other talismans in your tabernacle to choose from:

Talisman Transmogrifier

This is an insidious little device that you put together one evening when you'd had too much caffeine and couldn't think of anything else to do. From the outside it looks a bit like a cardboard box with a few wires and knobs coming out of it, and one really large "Transmogrify" button.

To be honest, the transmogrifier kind of scares you. Your notes suggest that anything put inside the box will be bombarded with some kind of horrible ray unknown to most scientists. You've tested it on a few mundane objects, and they've basically disintegrated. In theory if you put some sort of super-powerful object inside, such as, say, a talisman it might survive the ordeal but come out drastically altered. Unfortunately there's also no telling what might happen to the person who was fundamentally tied to the talisman at the time. There's a very good chance that you could lose most or even all of your powers and end up starting over from scratch -- barely more powerful than the average mortal.

On the other hand, change is fun, and it might let you see things from a different perspective.
