Phylacteries

Overview
Phylacteries are archaomechanical devices that control reincarnation and the afterlife dimensions. Modern understanding of phylacteries is minimal. The theurgs inhabiting a phylactery are the administration for its afterlife realms, and decide who has permission to reincarnate, provided an embodiment is available. Phylacteries are notoriously hard to destroy or hack into. Over time, reincarnation may cause psychic decoherence.

Talismans are simple phylacteries which may be carried on one's person.
