What the Phantom Reforge Talisman does

The Phantom Reforge Talisman resets a Phantom Edge. Its effect line reads “A talisman used to restore a Phantom Edge to its initial level.” The description reads “A dark violet talisman marked with just a few strokes of luminous green ink, forming the shapes of a bow and axe. It reverses the power within a Phantom Edge, restoring it to an earlier state.” In the Items menu it sits in the Progression category, and the pickup card files it under Key Progression Materials.

For Phantom Edges, it serves the role the Weapon Reforge Talisman fills for main weapons. Upgrades require Remnant Dust and metals. Resetting a weapon to its starting level refunds your materials, letting you spend them elsewhere. See the Phantom Edges by type list to browse the options.

At a bell, open Upgrade Equipment to find the MAIN WEAPONS and PHANTOM EDGES tabs. To reset a main weapon, enter Downgrade by pressing T and then holding Space. For the complete process, see how to upgrade weapons. The card identifies this talisman as the item for resetting a Phantom Edge.
