Followers

During the game, characters usually acquire Followers as the result of encounters. A character may have any number of Followers.

Losing a Follower

Any Followers that are killed (e.g., in the Chasm or the Vampire’s Tower) are returned to the Adventure Card deck.

Spells

In the magical land of Talisman, anyone can cast Spells as long as he has enough Craft. Some characters start the game with one or more Spells, and new Spells can be found by any character as he travels around the board.

Gaining Spells

All characters may acquire and cast Spells, if their Craft is sufficient to permit this. Only those characters whose special abilities allow them to start the game with Spells do so. Otherwise, Spells are usually acquired as the result of encounters. Spells gained are taken from the top of the Spell deck.

The effect of each Spell, and when it can be cast, are detailed on the individual Spell Cards. The number of Spells that any character can have at one time is limited by the character’s Craft as follows:

Total Craft 1 2 3 4 5 6+
Maximum Number of Spells                   0     0     1     2     2     3
