*"Invented by an unidentified coven of magic users from Sweden prior to Ragnarök, Talisman of Three Elements is a triangular artifact which allows its wielder to conjure and manipulate three elements as well as their components; Magma (combination of fire and earth), Frost (combination of water and cold), and Storm (combination of wind and lightning). Its versatility and unique set of elements unlike traditional fire, water, earth, and air saw the artifact becoming well-established among magic users in Nine Realms.

The Way of Three Elements is the art of invoking and manipulating elements through this Talisman. Despite being reputed to be tempestuous enough to challenge the skills of even a gifted magic user, those who mastered it would reassure you not to doubt the strength of this magic discipline."*
― Description of Talisman of Three Elements

**Talisman of Three Elements** is a magical artifact in *Little Witch Academia: Witches of Midgard*.

## Description & Characteristics

Talisman of Three Elements was invented by an unidentified coven of Sweden magic users at one point during Great Age of Magic, specifically prior to Ragnarök. As its name suggested, it allows the user to conjure and manipulate three distinct set of elements as well as their components; magma (combination of fire and earth), frost (combination of water and cold), and storm (combination of wind and lightning). This can be done either through the talisman itself or in conjunction with other magical focus relative to the user's spellcasting style.

When in use, the Talisman floats in the user's hand.

### Elemental Shield

The user can use the Talisman to generate a circular defensive wall of magic energy reminiscent to round shield that deflects incoming physical and magical blows. The color of this shield is relative to the element the user channeled:

* Orange: Magma
* Cyan: Frost
* Yellow: Storm

### The Way of Three Elements

**The Way of Three Elements** is a magic discipline focused on invoking and manipulating aforementioned elements through this Talisman. Each element possesses its own components and is naturally weaker than and stronger than another;

* Magma, whose composition being fire and earth, is strong against Frost but weak against Storm.
* Frost, whose composition being water and cold, is strong against Storm but weak against Magma.
* Storm, whose composition being lightning and wind, is strong against Magma but weak against Frost.

It's possible for the user to master all three elements at once, though they would have easier time mastering particular element they displayed best affinity with.

## Notes and Trivia

* As with scrapped Rune of Three concept, Talisman of Three Elements was conceived by BSoulstone upon inspired by elemental power of Storm-type Javelin from 2019 online multiplayer action role-playing video game *Anthem* which further popularized Fire, Ice, and Lightning Trope (a trope revolving three core magic elements; fire, ice, and lightning).
	+ BSoulstone developed Talisman of Three Elements along with magic discipline The Way of Three Elements in place of Rune of Three upon realizing how much they misunderstood Rune Magic after consulting with an associate at Discord as per a friend's suggestion and importantly, realizing the concept revolving magic circle — which popularized by fantasy works such as *The Owl House* — not invented until late Middle Ages and early Renaissance in real life thus inadvertently painting aforementioned magic discipline as anachronistic.
