I'm pretty sure if his mother asks him to take it off he'll do it, unless you're planning to graft it to the kid or something.

Yeah, that talisman isn't going to do a thing if the Grey Order decides to deal with her. Far, far to many ways around it. It's really not very useful, but she might be able to use it to flex on some rubes so I gave it to her as a trinket.

That Ratling Gun is fascinating. Using a Dhar Powerstone/Warpstone solid-gas conversion as a firing system is genius, and I sincerely doubt we would have figured it out without our AV research that has already worked on that.
I'm going to assume that by Dark Magics you're talking about Dhar? Otherwise that talisman would've been absolutely excellent for a grounding rod.

I am guessing that is something of an "object lesson" to keep golds from doing that.

IIRC, in Warhammer Fantasy Cathay thinks of Dhar and Qhaysh as basically "yin and yang", and have some way of using both of them, with "uncombined" wind/divine magic being seen as lesser. It's utterly whacky by the paradigm Teclis taught, but on the other hand they're apparently able to use Qhaysh to some limited extent as mere humans, so maybe there's something to it?

Not at all! By knowing it exists we can now prepare against it.

First, poor Johann.
Second, while I am glad to have my cuirosity satisfied.... I am very dissapointed in the talismin's utility in that the thing you want to ward against most... is not something it does. I'm very unsure who might find it most useful tbh.
Edit:
Most useful outcome:

Yeah.
It's a talisman that's only good against legitimate magic users--but only the 'Decent' ones.
It's powerless against bad magic users who use Dark Magic because it's easy, and powerless against *powerful* magic users who use Dark Magic because they've hit that feedback loop and are spiralling up to doing as much damage as possible before they melt down.
It's also powerless against High Magic, which are the ones you're most likely to see in an Asur expeditionary force.
It's only useful for mono-Wind casters, which admittedly most organized factions do have casters who use the base eight Winds of Magic, so it's not entirely worthless. But it does speak to a rather twisted set of priorities (To wit "We're more concerned about putting down rebellions in our conventional spellcasters than we are preparing to fight actual peers or threats.")

If they don't know she has it, it could mess up an intervention at a bad time and give her a chance to stab whatever Grey is sent in with her magic-piercing Runefang.
Or at least a chance to call for help and run.
Grey Order aren't all as amazing as Mathilde and her fellow Magisters, you know. Most of them are good, but not that good.
Prepare against the Cathayan amulet? That was what I called a wasted AP.
Technically, 'Dhar' refers to the pure substance and 'Dark Magic' means any magic that uses Dhar, whether solely or combined with a Wind or Divine magic.

I imagine people who find themselves fighting Bright mages and priests more often than elves and vampires prefer to have protection against that.

Actually this might be useful for filtering out Dhar from all other magic.
Isn't that likely because of the widespread Tzeentch worship going on there?
If they send a scrub after knowing her backstory they deserve what they get. I'm really not at all worried about this eventuality coming to pass though, Mathilde has her pretty low key terrified.

If you've got Dhar and other magic in the same place, very soon you'll just have Dhar.

Yes and we are currently just funneling aetheric vitae out of a snek.
We need to study vitae more, get a better source of vitae, figure out how to make vitae solid, then we have a replacement for warpstone for the Weber Gun!
