Talismans

How exactly does casting a spell on a talisman works? I´ve read/heard spellcasters say that after they do the ritual they will give a talisman for the other person to work with. Sometimes it is hiding it, other times burying it or even burning it.

Can anyone illuminate me on why is this? How does these talismans work? Do the spell will start working once the talisman is recieved?

Thanks!

dump a ton of energy into an object that is ready to receive it.

Thats the fundamentals of it.

Activating it is common to personalize the spell to you, so you have someone casting for you, theyll typically send you something and give instructions for its use.

Sometimes it can be crystals you can use on your own, or something with a sigil. The operator ought to tell you how to use it.

Creating your own is like creating a spell, youre just trying to imbue energy into an object.

So, basically a remote spell?

yes, thats a good way of putting it, it can be thought of like a switch or just something physical you can hold that has that spell, you might get instructions like "close your eyes, and say..." or whatever...

It can be imbued with say protection, so you have an item that helps protect or whatever the intention was behind it...it can be a physical link between you and the spell is a good way to look at it too

sounds more like a remote control spell then. I can do a spell for you, charge it in the talisman and send it to you to activate it.

So the spell stays idle until you activate the talisman.

It's best if the talisman has a certain connection with you.

like a personal item?

It can be a personal item or it can be one that you bought specifically for the work you're doing with it. The possibilities for something like this type of magic are many!
