Darkstalker's scroll
Template:Spoiler Darkstalker's talisman was an ordinary scroll enchanted to hold the animus power of Darkstalker, as a way to prevent his soul being drained for using them. By writing specifications on a piece of the scroll, any dragon could use it at will. The talisman was about one third used, with many parts ripped off. At the end of Escaping Peril, Peril destroys the talisman by burning it in her claws. Darkstalker then crawls out of Jade Mountain. What most likely happened was that once the scroll was destroyed, they power was returned to him.
Uses
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 that. The only enchantment that was written by Darkstalker that was read was for Prince Arctic to obey all commands from Darkstalker.
Chameleon was the only other dragon to use the scroll pre-series. He used it to make other forms for himself. Using his form of Soar, he had a dragonet with Kestrel, know to be Peril. Due to the fact he was in SkyWing form, Peril is full SkyWing, rather than half RainWing and half SkyWing. Chameleon also has a few other known forms: Shapeshifter(NightWing), Cirrus(IceWing), and unnamed forms for each of the other tribes, probably including RainWings.
Hailstorm was "hidden" by taking the form of Pyrite 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 mess.
During Escaping Peril, Chameleon used the scroll multiple times for Scarlet. Scarlet had Chameleon create many fake characters that anyone can turn into, by wearing something(usually some form of jewelry). 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 Cirrus the Icewing, Soar the SkyWing, Shapeshifter the Nightwing, in addition to unknown SandWing, SeaWing, and MudWing forms. Chameleon uses the scroll to assist Ex-Queen Scarlet in exchange for treasures. Pyrite is a fake dragon that anyone can become by wearing the piece of this scroll (usually in a necklace) that Chameleon presumably wrote.
