Only the most skilled of Alchemists can ever hope correctly create a Sith Amulet, for its magic is dangerous and even the slightest miscalculation could result in disaster and possible death of the Alchemist. The construction of a Sith Amulet is a long and drawn out process, and requires complete isolation and utmost concentration on the part of the Alchemist. Any form of disturbance could be prove fatal.
The necessary materials for constructing a Sith Amulet are few, but they are very rare and can only be used if found in perfect condition. Some materials can be synthetically processed, but the process itself is just as long and as involved as the construction of the actual amulet itself. The main components of a Sith Amulet are metal alloys and crystals, but not just any crystal will do. Only a pure and perfect crystal will be able to channel the energies necessary to make a Sith Amulet effective, and these crystals are a rarity indeed. Only a few worlds are known to have harbored these types of crystals; worlds such as Adega and Korriban. The metals needed must simply be pure and untainted.
The actual construction of the Amulet is a very lengthy process. All of the timing must be right and the materials necessary must be in perfect condition. It is also of utmost importance that the alchemist seclude himself from all possible disturbances during the entire process or the train of thought could be lost and would have to be repeated from the beginning. A concentration device is a useful object in assisting the alchemist in constructing a talisman.
The first step in the process is the sterilization and purification of all the materials involved in the construction process of the Sith Amulet. All raw metals are to be melted and seperated/mixed in the proper proportions in order to achieve the desired types of alloys necessary. A large cauldron is ideal for this type of work, and a sterilized environment is essential. All jewels and crystals used must be polished and cut in perfectly symmetrical shapes to allow the maximum amount of energies to be channeled and stored within them. Synthetic jewels and crystals may be used in the construction of Sith Amulets, but these items MUST be perfect in every aspect, symmetrically and atomically, and the must be cut perfectly.
The most common forms of Sith Talismans are amulets, medallions, or necklaces that can easily be worn around ones neck to allow the hands to be free during the rituals and battles that they are used in. The shape and fashion of the Talisman are entirely up to the alchemist in charge. The usual method is inlay a crystal or jewel within a metal mold partially surrounding it in order to give support for the donning of the device. The Sith Rune of bonding must be inscribed upon the amulet during the construction accompained by the rune of the desired effect of the device. Upon the completion of the physical aspects of the device, the Sith Spell of bonding must be repeated ritually upon the device once at dawn and once at dusk for 3 days by a Sith Magician, and the magician must also fast during this period or the entire process will be destroyed. The talisman is than hung around the neck with a small chain or other similar device.
