Darkstalker's Talisman was a scroll with a black leather binding enchanted to hold the animus power of Darkstalker, which he created in order to be able to use animus magic without the fear of losing his soul. By writing on a piece of the scroll, any dragon could freely use Darkstalker's animus power. The talisman was about one third used, with many parts ripped off. At the end of Escaping Peril, Peril destroyed the talisman by burning it with her firescales, freeing Darkstalker from beneath what used to be Agate Mountain after it collapsed and restoring his former power.
History
Pre-Series:
Darkstalker used the talisman for many things. The talisman was described as one third was written on, and Chameleon claimed not to have written any of it. The only enchantment that was written by Darkstalker that was read was "Enchant Arctic the IceWing to obey my every command"[1].
Chameleon was the only other dragon known to use the scroll pre-series. He used it to make other forms for himself, an enchanted necklace for Peril, the Pyrite enchantment, and the hoop earring for Tourmaline which turned her into Ruby. Using his form of Soar, he had a dragonet with Kestrel, known to be Peril. Due to the fact he was in SkyWing form, Peril is a full SkyWing, rather than a half RainWing and half SkyWing hybrid. Chameleon also has a few other known forms: Shapeshifter (NightWing), Cirrus (IceWing), and unnamed forms for each of the other dragon tribes.
Hailstorm was "hidden" by taking the form of Pyrite, a SkyWing, for two years, and when the necklace containing the scroll piece is forcibly removed he/she turns back into Hailstorm. However, after being Pyrite for so long, his memories are an unclear jumbled mess.
During Escaping Peril, Chameleon used the scroll multiple times for Scarlet. Scarlet had Chameleon create a necklace for Peril that removed her firescales, made her completely loyal to Scarlet, and took away all her memories of Clay. The talisman's last use was by Chameleon to change Tourmaline back into Ruby.
Chameleon used pieces of the scroll to transform himself into entirely different dragons of different species, partially to make up for the fact that he cannot change his scales. He can take the forms of Shapeshifter the NightWing, Soar the SkyWing, and Cirrus the IceWing in addition to unknown SandWing, SeaWing, and MudWing forms. Chameleon uses the scroll to assist Ex-Queen Scarlet in exchange for treasure. Pyrite is a fake dragon that anyone can become by wearing the piece of this scroll (in a necklace) that Chameleon presumably wrote.
After chasing Moon back to Jade Mountain and watching Qibli and Winter get into a fight over it Peril deemed the scroll too powerful to be in any dragons talons, whether they had good intentions or not, so she took the scroll and burned it which had the unintentional consequence of restoring Darkstalker's animus power thus releasing Darkstalker from his burial under Agate Mountain.
After finally figuring out how not to lose his soul due to using his animus powers too much, Darkstalker placed all of his powers into a scroll that when written on, would react in the same way as if Darkstalker himself had cast the spell. The only differences being that it wouldn't erode his soul and cause him to go mad and while the scroll could cast Darkstalkers power, anyone could cast spells with it.
Darkstalker first revealed his scroll to Clearsight and enhanced an ink-well to rise up and touch the ceiling, then return to his talons. After his verbal attempt didn't work he proceeded to write on the scroll "Enchant this inkwell to fly up, touch the ceiling once, and fly back down into my talons without spilling a drop, then return to normal."[2]. The inkwell did exactly as instructed and increased Clearsights trust in Darkstalker.
