Talisman of Growing
Activation: Ogier Treesinging DC 35
Affinities: None
Size: Small
Weight: 2 lb.
Occurrence: Unique

This ter'angreal was made from Tree-Sung Wood during The Breaking of the World. In order to use it, you must place the Talisman on a slab of granite of the appropriate size and begin to Treesing a song designed specifically for the Talisman. At this point, the talisman will sink into the wood until it is barely visible and an amazing transformation will begin to occur. Vines of stone will begin to grow outward from the Talisman of Growing towards the ground until the stone and the ground on which it stood become one. While this is happening, the Talisman is creating a permanent gateway between the spot where the Waygate will stand and the Ways, a mysterious passage of bridges through the netherworld between locations. The process to grow a completed Waygate requires three hours of continuous Treesinging, generally done by multiple Ogier concurrently; with each of the Ogier making a Concentration Check DC20 every half an hour. If one of the Ogier fails the concentration check, the Waygate growth can continue; but if all were to fail at one point in time; the attempt would be ruined. This has never been known to happen. An Ogier who has failed his concentration check may resume attempting to Treesing after another half an hour has gone by as long as he succeeds at a second Concentration Check.

As the Waygate grows close to completion, the Talisman of Growing, which resembles the leaf of the Chora plant, duplicates itself and one of the two copies reemerges from the stone. This is the sign that the process is completed. The other stone remains in the intricate carvings of vines and leaves that decorate the door to the Waygate, and it can be used to open the Waygate. There are some that believe that the Chora leaf that remains with the Waygate is the original Talisman of Growing, and that a new Talisman is produced with each Waygate grown; but that is considered wild speculation at best.

Yes, it should absolutely be stone! biggrin.gif

The wonders of trying to edit something when you know what it *should* say, you rarely notice when it says something right its just not what you meant.

Thanks.
