Molybdomancy Talisman
-
Artist: Martin Roca
Wondrous item, common
The tradition of “pouring lead,” formally known as molybdomancy, is an ancient form of divining and cleansing magic. This tiny talisman is made from the lead poured during a molybdomancy seance. Every talisman is uniquely made for a specific individual and usually takes the vague shape of their greatest fear. When you fail a saving throw against a spell or effect that causes the frightened condition, the molybdomancy talisman shatters and you succeed on that saving throw instead.
While creating a talisman, the crafter links it with a creature. Only the intended wearer can benefit from the molybdomancy talisman’s magic, and a creature can only be linked to one talisman at a time.

Molybdomancy
This is a mystical method for divination, a way to glean the future by reading small shapes of molten lead. A small piece of lead is melted in a spoon over a candle, then the liquid metal is tossed into a pot of cold water. Once the lead has cooled, the metal shape is interpreted by the molybdomancer, who uses it to tell your future. It is said that molybdomancy can also rid you of a fear that has gripped your heart or mind. Most traditional arcanists dismiss it as superstition and nonsense, but the more open-minded ones are aware of the true potential behind this mystical art.
