An amulet is a protective charm — a small object (stone, metal, bone, fabric, or inscription) crafted, selected, or consecrated to be worn or carried for warding off harm, evil, or misfortune. Its parameters: (1) physical form — portable and worn/carried; (2) function — narrowly protective (warding, not general blessing or luck-attracting); (3) mechanism — believed efficacy derives from material properties, inscribed symbols, or ritual consecration, not from the object's natural qualities alone; (4) persistence — maintained through cultural transmission of protective practices, worn continuously as long as protection is needed. [formal: amuletum | substrate: matter | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.81]
