Magic Forums

So, I recently got onto the store here at SoM. There were several amulets and talismans that looked interesting, but since I am unable to buy one (i'm 14), I have decided to try and make one on my own. I figure a handmade amulet/talisman would work better and would sharpen my magic skills. The problem is, how would I imbue an object with energy of a certain kind? I have read a spell on how to imbue an object with energy, but that energy doesn't have any specific power. For example, lets say I am trying to make an amulet of protection. How would I channel warding energy into my amulet? Thanks for any responses!
