A shamanistic rattle               - TALISMAN INFO RATTLE

 - This rattle gives one a limited amount of control over the weather.

 - Themed after the atavian race. 
 
A collapsible catapult             - TALISMAN INFO CATAPULT
 - Purchasable in Delos for 900 bound credits.
 - These marvels of siege weaponry were popularly used by the legendary Mercenaries of Arn. 
 - SETUP CATAPULT will set this weapon up in a room. 
 - Then anyone may ENTER CATAPULT to climb into the basket, at which point the owner may FIRE CATAPULT <direction>, launching that person in the given direction. 
 - Where they come down is completely random (and is sure to be unpleasant for your wayward volunteer), but it is based on the area of the direction you fire in. 
 - Think of the possibilities! 
 - If you've ever struggled to infiltrate enemy cities, you can now do it in style. 
 - This talisman is themed for the troll race. 
 
A blood daubed cloth of whispers   - TALISMAN INFO WHISPERCLOTH

 - Purchasable in Delos for 800 bound credits.
 - ACTIVATE SPHERE to destroy all ice, stone, and lightwalls in a location.

A piece of horkval chitin          - TALISMAN INFO CHITIN

A flattened frogskin               - TALISMAN INFO FROGSKIN
 - Purchasable in Delos for 1200 bound credits.
 - This somewhat odd collectable allows one to FORM BUBBLE when underwater.
 - This will create a bubble around that person, granting the racial regeneration that grooks enjoy. 
 - For as long as the bubble is present, it will also act as if you are in a water body for the purposes of said regeneration. 
 - However, if your health dips below half, the bubble will burst, and you will need to return to an underwater location to re-establish it. 
 - Themed for the grook race. 

A pernicious pair of Dala'myrr claws - TALISMAN INFO DALAMYRRCLAWS
 - This item is not available in the Delosian talisman shop.

 - Themed for the xoran race. 
 
Bottled siren song                 - TALISMAN INFO SIRENSONG

 - Purchasable in Delos for 600 bound credits.
 - These mysterious panpipes allow one to PLAY PANPIPES <dream>.

 - Note: this item is consumed on use. 
 - Themed for the Tsol races. 
 
A figurine of the suffering Maya   - TALISMAN INFO MAYAFIGURINE
 - Purchasable in Delos for 2500 bound credits.

Partial Completions
--------------------
If you have two or three pieces of a talisman in the historical set you can
TALISMAN COMPLETE PARTIAL <talismanname> to complete it for the remainder
of the bound credit value of the item as it is in the Delosian Talisman shop.
   DOING THIS WILL COMPLETE THE TALISMAN AND BIND IT TO YOU.
Talismans completed in this manner will have an altered tradein that
reflects its credit worth, including the credit purchased completion.

I.E
    You have: cruciblebase and cruciblebowl.
    You use TALISMAN COMPLETE PARTIAL CRUCIBLE and pay 500 bound credits.
       This is half the cost of the crucible in the shop because you already
       have half of the pieces.
    You get: a completed soulfire crucible talisman.
    This item has a tradein value of: 346 bound credits.
       This is 2/3rds of 520 credits (The 500 credits paid above, plus your 2
       pieces valued at 10 credits each.)
