In a sense, both of us are correct, a talisman would need a source from which a person can withdraw magic to use magic, if he himself has no knowledge of it. True, but you'd need something which you can pull magic through properly, and why I say a refined diamond or gem of some sort, it's because the atoms are arranged in neat rows and columns, in something organic, the atoms are a big jumble. If you know the premises of Feng Shui, you'd know that it applies the teaching of letting spirit energy flow, same thing applies to magic, aka "spirit energy"
