This small, gracile skull appears to have belonged to a small humanoid creature with a tapered jaw and large eyes - perhaps some kind of immature elf or sprite. It is inscribed with arcane symbols, and there is an iron nail driven into the middle of the forehead. It hangs from a length of chain.
The Talisman contains TWO protective spells which affect only Fae beings who bear the Blood of Sidhe (Sidhe, High Elves, Sylvan Elves, Drow, Vaara, as well as varieties of Nymph...) Such beings are at Disadvantage to save against these spells, and the magic is unaffected by alignment.
The base spell power of this effect is DC8 + CHA. Magic-using classes can cast these spells at their native spellcasting score. The talisman may be used to cast ONE of the following spells, and the talisman recharges once per day, at dawn.
- Hold Elvenkind: As per the Hold Person spell
- Protection from Elvenkind: Fae of the Sidhe bloodline are at Disadvantage to attack the talisman-bearer or those within the 5ft aura, and they cannot be charmed, frightened or possessed by Elvenkind. Any already under these effects gain Advantage on their next save.
- whoever has the Skull readied on their person can activate this effect as a Reaction
- once active, the Skull may be passed to a new holder without interrupting the spell
- if the skull is dropped or leaves the person of the wielder unwillingly, the spell ends
