Shamans often fashion crude talismans, imbued with the power of
a given prima materia nature, to bolster their spirits.  Any of the
four stats may be chosen: str, dex, int, or con.  The Shaman will
then attempt to command the supplied prima materia to infuse power
to boost that stat into a talisman.  If the attempt succeeds, he or
anyone else may wear the talisman around his or her neck to gain its
power.

Prima materia infused into a talisman will remain for a certain
length of time.  Eventually, however, the materia will become
unable to continue empowering the talisman.  If the talisman is
being worn when this happens, it will attempt to draw energy from
its wearer.  If successful, this will keep the materia bound to the
talisman for a bit longer.  Soon enough again, however, its power
will begin to fade, and it will need to draw from its wearer once
again.  If its wearer lacks the required energy (spell points), the
materia within the talisman will completely fade.

Natives gain the full benefit of the talisman's power, while
non-natives have a 1/3 effectiveness when using them. Stinky Mages
and other evil power classes cannot wear talismans.
