A Palisman (plural form: Palismen) is a sentient magical totem that sits atop a witch's staff and assist them as their familiar. The palisman and staff are acquired by the witch as part of their education. Palismen can prove to be both a loyal friend and a powerful magic-enhancer, among other possible functions.
Palismen are made from an enchanted plant called palistrom, generally in the shape of an animal or magical creature. Upon being carved, they gain life and sentience, and are bonded to the one that created them. They are the Boiling Isles' equivalent of a familiar while also acting as magical staves that house their own source of power outside a witch's bile sac.
In the case of the mod it will serve to give the player (human) the possibility of doing magic without glyphs outside the demon realm- There will be spells from various covens, including illusions, abominations, construction, healing, beast keeping, oracle, plus some new spells.
All existing palismen in the mod, are only aesthetic, none gives you more power than another.
This was thought so that the player could customize his palismen, and thus achieve what the series proposes.
