The ability it just to make it so that it's extremely difficult to separate the magician from his talisman.No, effectively a choice among two epic feats and a nonepic one. Considering the utility of those feats, and the price in convenience paid for the effect, it appears fair to me.You have a point. The real price of the talisman should be the convenience issue of having it in your hand while casting, not dealing with the infrequent but painful price of its destruction.I think I'll drop the XP cost for losing the thing. And allow him to cast spells without it, but at a penalty to caster level and not with access to his component-reducing abilities.</blockquote>
