[[File:quill talisman.png]] A '''quill talisman''' is a [[talisman]] that transforms you into the quill form.

==Useful Info==
When e'''V'''oked, a quill talisman puts you into Quill Form, which lasts until you end the form. Entering or exiting a form takes 5 turns.

Quill Form has the following effects:

'''Defensive traits'''
*'''Spiny:''' You have a 40% chance to automatically retaliate against a melee attack by doing 1d2 - 1d8 damage, scaling linearly with Shapeshifting skill. It also makes you immune to [[constriction]].

'''Restrictions'''
*'''[[Transformation#Useful Info|Melded Gear]]:''' Helmet, gloves, boots, barding, cloak.

Quill Form has a minimum [[Shapeshifting]] skill of 0, and the maximum skill is 7.

[[Shapeshifter]]s start with a quill talisman.

==Strategy==
The spiny damage doesn't scale well with skill. It can still be worth it to train Shapeshifting to access new forms, but don't train it ''just'' to boost Quill Form.

If you don't have any auxiliary armor yet, Quill Form is purely beneficial. Note that the form itself has no special bonus to Unarmed Combat, so weapons are OK to use.
