yeah, what Chris said, makes sense.

Not talismans... unenchanted plain amulets... talismans unequip themselves when you unready wizardry...

No, you use a talisman, but it makes an amulet, like a decorated talisman.

Doesn't make sense... a Talisman is NOT an amulet... and shouldn't just somehow become one...

Think skeleton of amulet.

Talisman- Focus item to use wizardry for those who are not skilled in wizardry... hung around the wrist and held in the hand
Amulet- Item worn around the neck bestowing benefits to the wearer as long as he/she wears it... usually made of valuable metals and jewels(because somehow the more valuable jewels have better effects... don't ask why it's an RPG game thing...)

Ah, a braclet. Makes sense. I always figured, based on the graphic, that it was a necklace. That'd be cool though, if it was designed with a gem in the palm of your hand to give you Mage Hands...^_^
One chain goes over a finger or two, one over your wrist...

Amulets get their power from magic, which could be what's in a talisman, it's like this:
A talisman by itself can make you focus magic in it.
An amulet is a talisman changed to have a permanent effect when equipped, because it has all this other stuff on it, you can't focus magic.

Stop it :|

A talisman isn't an amulet ..

.. just make a basic unenchanted amulet ..

The thread was dead a long time ago, but whatever...
Anyway, if they do that, they should also make plain platemail, helmets, gloves, etc. As a matter of fact, I was planning on talking to Stefan about something related to this, etc, etc, also, no one ever said this was going to be made, so it really doesn't matter about the amulet until this is certain.

Well .. I think (this is my guess, and it makes sense) that instead of "plate mail" and "sword" it will be things like "bronze plate mail" and "steel sword" .. things that are attainable, but basic.. you know, in recipes that is ..

yeah.

how I love confusion :]
