Huh, sounds interesting. 

@Mistress. I was under the impression that Talismans were basically magical pieces of equipment, ie, a gauntlet with a complex rune array inscribed on it, a magical amulet with a jewel set in the middle, or maybe something as mundane as a simply wooden stick that's been infused with magical energies. Basically, almost anything would do. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though Crawfish.
