This talen, which takes the form of a small pouch of ashes, is an effective charm against mundane projectiles. The user must spread the ashes in a line before him while activating the talen; the line cannot be longer than ten feet, or it becomes ineffective. While the talen is in effect (half an hour), no mundane missle weapon, thrown or fired, may cross the line of ashes. Hurled rocks, arrows and bullets all bounce off as if hitting a stone wall. However, fetish weapons and gift effects ( such as bane arrows and call the breeze) can cross the line as normal; this makes the talen excellent protection for a suitably armed sniper. The ashes are abnormally heavy while the effect lasts and cannot be easily scuffed or blown away; it takes an entire turn to make a break in the line and therefore spoil the talen's effects.
