Mechanics & Uses

Talismans can be made by just about anyone, however there it an amount of skill involved. For complicated talismans, more skill would be involved. Each Talisman has a certain amount of skill needed to create, and some are incredibly difficult -or more accurately, near impossible- to create. Usually, one would have to study with a Cultivator to truly gain an understanding of how Talismans work and are created. Certain clans, such as the Uteki, Hato and Hikari families, as well as their branch off clans, are uniquely skilled in creating these Talismans, some members dedicating their life to the study and use of them.
