Cloth — Amulet Atlas Woven fibre doing three different jobs: a bag that holds a charm, a garment that is one, and a strip that records how many people worked on it. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/material/cloth/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 37K
Hair — Amulet Atlas Hair cut from a named person and put inside something else. It is almost never the charm on its own. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/material/hair/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 33K
The spiral — Amulet Atlas A line that winds in on itself. It is cut into stone, painted on pottery, blazoned on a shield, and — once, and importantly — used as the direction in which to write, so that the words themselves coil inward. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/sign/spiral/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 34K
The charm in the wall — Amulet Atlas A whole class of amulet was never meant to be seen again. It goes up a chimney, under a floor, above a ceiling, into a roof void, beside a door frame, or into a pit cut before the first course of brick. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/story/the-charm-in-the-wall/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 40K
Lead — Amulet Atlas A soft grey metal, cheap, heavy, and soft enough to scratch with a stylus and then fold in the hand. It is also poisonous, which is the whole of its modern story. nanobotco.github.io/amulet-atlas/material/lead/ · 17-Sep-2026 · 35K
