Charms

Mechanics & Inner Workings

A charm can be pretty much anything from a simple ring to a jacket, but the smaller the charm the more powerful it is becouse theres less space to fill for the spell. Charms are basicaly just objects with a spell linked to them. You can activate a charm by saying a simple word or phrase, this is chosen when you buy/make it. When the charm is activated who ever is holding it is immedianlty affected by the spell linked to the charm. It could be a strength spell, or even a spell of harming (illegal). It is hard to link more then one spell to a single charm but some people can manage two.

Their is a activation code and a dactivation code, some Charms are made so that it will only respond to a sinlge persons voice but that is difficult to accomplish so normaly it responds to anyone.
