MutisAmanulet

MutisAmanulet is a fictional construct used in speculative fiction and tabletop game design to describe a kind of adaptive talisman that changes its protective or functional properties in response to its environment or its bearer's actions.

The term is a neologism formed from a blend of mutation-related language and amulet imagery; it is presented as a coined concept within various narratives and rulebooks rather than a real-world artifact.

In most depictions, a MutisAmanulet contains a mutable rule set or algorithm that governs its effects. Its mutation is not random but shaped by established motifs—such as the wearer’s skill, the surrounding ecosystem, or historical events—so the talisman evolves with the character.

Variants commonly appear in fiction and games, including MutisAmanulet-Guard, which emphasizes evolving defensive properties, and MutisAmanulet-Sigil, which emphasizes symbolic or communicative abilities.

Cultural role: as a narrative device it allows exploration of adaptability, uncertainty, and the relationship between object and user. In game contexts, it introduces dynamic balancing challenges and strategic choices, prompting players to adjust tactics as the artifact changes.
