The bats don't work well for the Dark Talisman as light mages might not want red bats flying around them.
Your aura, however, would be perfect for the Dark Talisman, it's subtle but gives you an evil vibe.

I didn't think about white mages not liking the effect... Definitely not the best animation for Dark Talisman because of that.
Could it be a /me evilhugs <someone> command instead of a Halloween special effect, though?

The Final Showdown is really fun to do with other players, and I'd love to see it kept on the server!
I also think it's a great idea to add it as the Saviour Armours quest, and slightly ironic too.

What about soloing Illia?

I thought it might be cool if the Dark Talisman had a particle effect, similar to the one the Heart Necklace has.
I created this red bat, in the Halloween theme, for the Talisman
What do you all think?
