Lamen (magic)

A lamen (Latin, meaning "plate") is a magical parchment or pendant, sometimes acting as a protective 'magical breastplate' worn around the neck so that it hangs upon the breast over the heart.^[1] Its uses vary but, most commonly, the term refers to a symbol of authority and a focus of magical energies.^[1]^[2]
