General Information
Charms is the collective term for a group of items which, when in a person's possession, appear listed on their profile in italics under their character description.
When clicked on the charm, which costs 0 AP, the following description is given:
The [charm name] doesn't appear to actually do anything. Maybe just carrying it is sufficient if you believe in its power.
Because of this ambiguous description there have been many theories put forward as to what each charm does. However, few have ever been backed up by empirical evidence.
