{{flavour|A small censer from which pours an endless smoky haze. Transforms the wearer's head into a billowing shroud of mist. Any potions they drink in this form will
be rapidly decomposed into gases which they can expel via melee attacks as blasts of harmful clouds. They can also slowly condense the dungeon's air into potions of mist, allowing them to become intangible and blind monsters.

However, the lack of typical mouth parts makes it difficult to pronounce incantations, greatly slowing the speed at which they cast spells.

[[File:mist talisman.png]] A '''mist talisman''' is a [[talisman]] that changes you into a mistmane form.

==Useful Info==
When '''P'''ut on, a mist talisman turns you into a Mistmane Form, which lasts until you end the form. Entering a form takes 4 turns and exiting it takes 5.

Mistmane Form has a minimum [[Shapeshifting]] skill of 8, and the maximum skill is 14. Skill makes potions of mist faster and extends cloud range + duration.

The [[Stalker]] background starts with a mist talisman.

Mistmane Form has the following effects:

'''Traits'''
* Slows spellcasting to 1/2 speed
* Exploring creates potions of mist (capped at 5 at a time)
* Drinking potions sprays a 3-wide beam of clouds on your next melee attack (shown as a 4-6 turn "Vapour" status)
** Drinking [[Potion of mist]] or [[Potion of curing]] produces [[blinding haze cloud]]s (which checks HD and can't blind undead or nonliving foes)
** [[Potion of berserk rage]] produces [[flame cloud]]s
** [[Potion of mutation]] produces [[mutagenic fog]]
** All other potions make [[Cloud#Noxious fumes|noxious fumes]].

'''Restrictions'''
*'''[[Transformation#Useful Info|Melded Gear]]:''' helmet.
