Talisman of Lore enables a Spell Caster to master an extra Element of Magic. Starting skills usually have a
benefit over equipment that enable similar. Unique combinations can come about when realised, especially
when creating a specific group or adding a new Hero that’s essential for beating a previously failed quest.
