Armand's Talisman

Armand's talisman is his helm. It's made from stone and acts as a magical focus for his spells. The stone 'wings' on either side of the helm are formed when he uses magic, usually taken from the ground he's standing on. He made it himself from stone from the cliffs of his home where he first began studying magic. He hasn't parted with it since. When he's not wearing it his helm can shrink into a diamond shaped charm that attaches to a chain on his belt. This chain is also where he will keep his badges from portals!
