Talismans by tokenfox
A Talisman is a proof of Ethereum dedication: generative art that lives entirely on-chain, with no servers and no IPFS. Two opposing poles, minted out at genesis. Bond them, and forge a myth.

Self-contained Talismans, forever on-chain
Each Talisman is generative art with nothing left off-chain. Every file that describes it lives on Ethereum: the 3D model, the animated piece, the still image, the traits, all drawn live from a smart contract. No server. No IPFS. Nothing to switch off. A fixed genesis of 1,536 was minted, then sealed. The mint is over; the Talismans live on.
02 · Bonding
Two poles. One myth.
Every Talisman belongs to one of two opposing poles: Lithic or Lumic. Bond a Lithic and a Lumic Talisman and they fuse into a Mythic: the third essence, never minted, only forged.
03 · Cut & Merge
Split it. Combine it.
Bonding crosses the poles. A second pair of moves works within a Talisman: cut one into two, or merge two of a kind back into one.
Cutting needs two or more cores. Pick a Talisman with two or more symbols to split it.
Cut with care. Splitting is easy; putting it back is not. Once you cut a Talisman and trade a piece away, finding an exact match to merge it back can be hard: very few Talismans in the whole collection fit together. Think of a cut as easy to make, not always easy to undo.
