Paper Talisman: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Tabletop RPG]] ==

** Oriental magic items included four Charms of Protection (from disease, fire, spirits and theft). They were made of yellow or red paper with inked inscriptions involving supplications or threats toward various deities. They protected any building they were attached to.

* Several Charms of the [[Exalted|Sidereal Exalted]] require the preparation of Prayer Strips, which are then used up by the activation of the Charm.

* Show up in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', in the Arbiter's Grounds miniboss room. You enter to see a huge-ass sword tied down with a bunch of ropes with papers hanging on them. [[Genre Savvy|Every single gamer, viewer and troper instinct]] screams at you not to remove the seals, [[Stupidity Is the Only Option|but of course...]]

* The ''[[Fatal Frame]]'' series uses these to keep certain doors sealed until you find and photograph a specific item to remove the ofuda (in the third game, they're shaped like people), effectively similar to finally finding the proper "key" to "unlock" its door in order to make progress.

* They appear in ''[[Corpse Party]]'' on a few doors to prevent you from going in until you find a way to break them.
