  • Talismans can be won for successful investigation of pictures. Talismans can also be won as rewards for combining certain collections. If you are stuck, talismans can be bought for crystals or coins in the shop.
  • The Talismans are stone artifacts that contain the powers of Shendu, each of them representing an animal from the Chinese zodiac. They were created when Lo Pei, a servant of Shendu, used a spell to trap him into a statue form. Lo Pei then scattered the talismans throughout the world so they wouldn't ever be reunited again. Centuries later, Shendu make a deal with the Dark Hand to retrieve his talismans in exchange for his fortune. Each talisman contains a unique power, be it physical or spiritual.
  • Shendu's subjects rose up against him, led by Lo Pei. Using an extraction spell, he trapped Shendu in statue form, separating his powers from him in the form of twelve Talismans. Lo Pei scattered them across the four corners of the globe to make sure Shendu that would never again rise to power.
  • There are three talismans the player may collect during their travels. They are found in the Derelict Tunnels. The story behind the talismans is discovered in a book entitled Dusty Tome. Presenting all three talismans to the demon Azimuth will grant the bearer Azimuth's favor, which is the most powerful Talisman of the North. Using one of the talismans incorrectly will result in the loss of health.
  • Talismans are the primary way to bring out star chakra in Hoshigakure. A chant is usually needed to activate the talisman. There are many different kinds of talismans ranging from defense, barrier, attack, chakra mode, etc. The most commonly used talisman, Star Chakra Talisman, brings out the star chakra you naturally generate.
  • Talismans are magical items used in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!. In the first two of three Homeworlds, Talismans were needed to free the worlds' castles from Ripto's clutches. There are fourteen in total, one for each world, excluding Speedways. You were given the talisman when you completed the tasks set for you in that world. In most cases, this was to make your way to the home portal, but there were exceptions. For example, in the world, Idol Springs, your goal was to destroy all of the Idols that had come to life. Each talisman had its own name and picture. In the third homeworld, Winter Tundra, you get orbs instead of Talismans when completing the level.
  • Long ago Ty's family knocked the five mystic talismans out of Boss Cass' hands just as he was sending them off to the Dreamtime. This caused an explosion that scattered the talismans across the land. Now Ty is in a mad race against Boss Cass to get them back. Collect all five of them and bring them back to Rainbow Cliffs, and the Tasmanian tigers will be free to populate the world once more.
  • Talismans are Remnants transformed by the Tablet. In this state, it doesn't need to be bound to be used and will not trigger a Collapse. Any Remnant can be transformed by the Tablet, but the exact forms they take on can differ.
  • Talismans are a classification in the Bartimaeus universe of magical artifacts that are actively used by the wielder, that is to say, the object needs to be activated via magical commands, keys, force-of-will, etc. They differ from amulets, which classify objects which are passive, and work whether or not the wielder wishes them to or not.
  • The most common use of talismans is in warding off evil beings. Though they vary in effectiveness depending on the opposing force and the power of the talisman, talismans are often placed around and in buildings to keep evil beings from entering. However, if the evil is strong enough, talismans have no impact at all. Additionally, talismans can also be used to imprison or seal demons.

  • The most common use of talismans is in warding off evil beings.

However, if the evil is strong enough, talismans have no impact at all. Additionally, talismans can also be used to imprison or seal demons. * Heisuke Matsudo placed a number of traps within his home to keep Shion's spider goons from advancing. Some talismans were launched from the walls, striking the goons and causing them to collapse (in the anime, the talismans actually destroyed them). Shion, disgusted by their weakness, merely walked past the talismans, and her power was great enough that simply being in her presence caused the talismans to melt away. * Aihi was forced to accompany her human companion to his home by a talisman he wrapped around his hand and grabbed her with (which apparently made her unable to escape or attack him while he was holding it against her). She was then prevented from leaving by talismans (shown only in the anime) he placed around the doors once she was inside. The talismans were linked to his life: if Aihi truly wanted to escape, she either had to kill him, wait for him to die, or convince him to remove them. * Yoshimori used talismans to exorcise Sandy Brackman, a young woman followed by wandering spirits because of her elevated spiritual energy. Yoshimori admitted beforehand that he had no experience at exorcism, and had to call home to get advice and talismans from his father (Shuji was trained by Heisuke, who also provided him with talismans). * During the second invasion of Kokuboro, Shion stationed her goons at the Sumimura and Yukimura homes. Shuji Sumimura, who learned about talismans from his work with Heisuke Matsudo, put talismans on the windows and walls of the Sumimura home to prevent Shion's spider goons from coming inside. He also has a whole set of talismans that include an anti-Ayakashi stone that he wears around his neck. It lights up when Ayakashi are nearby, and is first seen doing so around Mukade, indicating that he is an Ayakashi Majiri. * The Kakushino Twins used talismans to imprison demons within cells. The number of talismans used indicated the demon's strength: only one was used for the Multi-Head Ayakashi, at least five for the Man-Eating Mist, and at least ten for Kurokabuto in its cocoon form.

For example: The Amulet of Samarkand is used to protect the wielder from magical attack. The amulet will do this regardless of whether the bearer acitvely wishes it to or not. The Staff of Gladstone on the other hand requires a complex command to be activated, and an active force of will to unhinge the binding spells enough for the staff's power to be released. Alone, the staff would do nothing.
