The Medallion of Leonardo da Vinci

By Anders Sandberg

Level three talisman

This is a bronze medallion, showing the classic diagram of the human proportions by Leonardo da Vinci on one side and a circle, triangle and a square on the other. It was originally devised by Leonardo as a proposed recognition sign for the Order of Reason, but it was never accepted. It is however infused with the vision and drive of Leonardo to some extent; by meditating on it or by wearing it the owner will get flashes of inspiration of all kinds. The only problem is that the user will get new ideas faster than he can finish the previous ones, so that he will be constantly jumping from project to project.

[ Essentially this talisman gives the mage several extra Dream dice, which randomly shift between various abilities such as expression, enigmas, occult, science, technology or medicine. ]
