Talisman

The word Talisman surfaces with surprisingly frequency in the feild of fictional books and movies, but a precise discription of them is rarely presented. Simply put, a Talisman is a Charmed Trinket, created to protect the wearer from a specific kind of unwanted magic. Usually to make a Talisman, one finds an object that they are attracted to (similar to Lifestones but they are not the same thing) and use Runic Magic to inscribe it with a rune, then imbue it with power, charging the rune and causing the Talisman to have properties similar to Wards.

When dealing with creatures of pure evil, or those conjured by it (Undead), reliquaries may serve as Talisman. Reliquaries hold the first-class relics of religious Saints, although one must believe in such if they are to have any true power, which comes from the belief the user has in the object. Some Talisman are boiled in Holy Water for the span of three Rosaries to protect against evil.
