Enchanted Items (Talismans and Wards)

Enchantments other than curses found in tombs usually take the form of talismans or wards. These cost two Build Points for every five levels of effects. Note that anything left in a strong Magic aura will accrue Warping; the aura may have faded since, but the enchantments remain Warped.

Although magical traps may be designed as if they were Hermetic effects to get an idea of the Build Points, Hermetic magic was not actually used in their construction, and they need not have the same features or restrictions. Specifically, most talismans can be

above the surface, and begin to drown. (Base 30, +1 Touch, +2 Room)
