"Having a magical protective power". Not really sure what this means. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:38, 30 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Could it be in the sense of these quotes;
  • The talismanic power of the victorious athlete is quite similar to the consecrating power associated with a purified murderer...
  • Was it something after this manner that Ficino himself composed images, in which the basic magical or, talismanic power was softened by expansion into Renaissance classical forms?
  • Nevertheless, there exist a number of prayers the purpose of which is to provide talismanic protection to the reader or wearer or, in some cases, to others less directly associated with them.
  • The talismanic charm of that missive will never be textually known, Madame Hanska's letters, one and all, having been destroyed.
