3rd-level necromancy (ritual) (Artificer,Sorcerer,Warlock,Wizard)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Touch
  • Components: V, S, M (the item to be enchanted)
  • Duration: Permanent

You link your life force to a small item. A knife, ring, or amulet is typical, but any item can be chosen. While you remain healthy, the item remains in perfect shape, never taking and wear or tear. If it takes damage, it regains hit points whenever you do, and in the same amount (so, if you regain 8 hit points, the item also regains 8 hit points), up to its normal maximum. If you are killed or suffer the incapacitated, paralyzed, petrified, stunned, or unconscious conditions, the talisman becomes rusted and dull. Once the condition is removed the talisman will regain its luster. Damaging the item does not harm you. These effects persist even if you and the item are not on the same plane. This spell ends if you cast it again.
