Translator's note: Some words in this tale don't have direct equivalents in English.
As this may be confusing, I've listed those words here:
Charm: something that can be wished on, and the wish comes true.
Glamour: the appearance of someone or something, caused by a wish. When people talk of a glamour, they often mean the appearance of their own face, or someone else's.
Omen: a prediction of the future. "Taking an omen" is not an everyday event. Omens are sought at significant life events, such as child-birth, coming of age, and marriage.
Warding charm (or ward): a particular type of charm, always worn on the body. This type of charm warns when its wearer is in danger, usually by growing warmer or lighting up.
