Have you ever wondered how your talismans work? Everyone has them, and we all take them for granted. They protect us from nouetic intrusion, and they protect us from projecting emotions and thoughts into the public thoughtworld. They can safely enhance our moods or calm our anxieties. But what exactly are they? What's really going on in that pendant or ring or pin or other ornamental device that you put on every day? (Here are a few, from my own collection.)

Outwardly, it's a crystal, a prepared stone, or a piece of pure metal. This looks good, but there's more to it than looks. Just like batteries carry a charge of electrical energy, talismans carry a "charge" of nouergic energy. The energy is put there by a trained nouetic or even a nouergist who knows just what to put there and how much to load. Sometimes we are even able to make our own talismans, if we have enough gift and a bit of training, but the professionally made ones almost always work better and last longer.

The technical term for what's going on here is a retained effect. Professional noueticists commonly abbreviate this to just the acronym "RE." Retained effects are not only used personally. They are everywhere in our society, helping things work well and protecting our banks, our military, our media, and just about any other thing you could think of from nouetic wrongdoing. For instance, data-stores are protected by strong retained effects so that private information cannot be stolen by nouetic intruders.

But how do they work exactly? Nouetic energy is not like any other energy in our universe, because it really isn't always in our universe. The famous Khemaru physicist Tanheu Afboureh Souteth (who is currently the director of the Nouergic Institute of Surakosai), was the first scientist in our current era-cycle to explain how nouetic energy interacts with our own universe's matter and energies. Later scientists, using his re-discoveries, unlocked the secrets of how nouetic energies are captured, at least for a limited time, in ordinary matter.

Nouetic and nouergic energies are carried by entities (or, roughly, particles), called deiknions. Deiknions are a class of particles rather than just one type, and there are lots of different kinds of deiknions. The important thing about these exotic subatomic particles is that they can move between different universes. Nouetic energy is not "native" to our universe. It takes deiknions to move it into our world so we can use it. These exotic particles are able to be "captured" in certain substances, especially things which have a dense and very regular atomic structure, such as crystals and pure metals. That's why the most expensive and powerful talismans (or commercial/industrial retained effects) use things like diamonds or pieces of superfine steel. The more disorganized the atomic structure of a substance, the less nouergic energy it can hold and the less time it takes to lose its charge.

Industrial nouergists, who can work with high energies, are trained to create and re-charge these devices. There is no end to the uses of retained effects. Not only can they protect, but they will predictably and regularly do work which a nouergist would otherwise have to personally do again and again, at least until the effect runs down and has to be re-charged. So tomorrow when you put on your talismans, remember that you are wearing something which is not just good-looking and useful, but is part of two universes.
