He took them for a stroll around the alley asking them to feel the energy in the air, to feel the kind of magic that was moving about, they sensed each other’s flow of magic but not really much else, no malevolent spirits or other sources of energy. He then took them to one of the talismans much to some of the shamans’ disapproval and told them to examine the talisman closely and carefully, several of them said that they couldn’t feel any kind of magic coming from the talisman and that it was actually quite curious as to how that was possible. He then asked a monk to draw the same talisman and recreate it, as he then spoke the words the talisman’s magic sprung to life but only for a moment and then they couldn’t feel its energy again. The shamans started talking amongst them and wondering as to how that was possible, Apollo reached for a book inside his bag and gave it to them with a note on the appropriate page.
A tome that explained how these charms would be used as barriers shielding the magic inside and keeping magic from entering, and it would also work on any malevolence that would try to enter, of course if the place hadn’t been cleansed any ongoing malevolence would be shielded inside with the people so what they should do instead of arguing about the charms is to go through with a cleansing ritual to rid this place of spirits and then the charms would be able to protect the area. Both groups agreed it was worth a chance and worked together in harmony to purify the place enhancing the charms with each one’s magic as well. Peace and quiet returned.
