2 / 27

Acquisition

Crafted at a workbench near water. Pickup records it in the case.

Effect

'Pooling': ink drops always pool into puddles on landing, puddle duration +50%, coverage area +30%; drops landing in existing puddles raise the water level, absorbing three pours before overflowing, slapping out surges to both sides dealing 50% puddle damage each

Burden

Drop direct damage -5%

Origin

Water gathers in low hollows, and rain that lingers creates dead water. Still waters run deep, connected to unseen undercurrents

Ordinary rain only leaves puddles at 10 or more minion slots, and only from large drops. With this hung, any drop that is allowed to pool does so on landing. Puddle lifetime is multiplied by 1.50, radius by 1.30. Base lifetime is about 2.5 seconds, about 3.75 after the multiplier. Base width is about 6 tiles.

A drop that merges into an existing puddle refreshes it and raises the water level by 1. Every 3 fills overflows: a surge goes out to each side at 50% puddle damage, and the level resets. Each overflow widens the puddle by 12%, twice at most.

Drop direct damage is multiplied by 0.95. Puddle body damage starts at 35% of drop damage. This talisman does not change that multiplier. A new drop prefers to refresh a nearby puddle owned by the same player. Frost Mirror turns refresh off, so the water level stops rising. Giant hail leaves no puddle.
