This particular set of talismans have already been charmed and relies much less on the user. Although I imagine the frequency with which we encounter the undead will be more than we think.
When drones rebel against their programming either due to hackers exploiting weaknesses or glitches in their programming. Fairly common in recent years, especially when it comes to attacks against the government.

... I suppose you could say I've learned to be wary of those whose intentions I can't see, even if their actions seem to be benign.
Let me guess, not that common in your world, then?
[ oh gino, if only you knew,
... how does he explain this. there is probably the equivalent of the now typing bubbles for A While, if those can even show up. ]
Drones are robots that have usually been programmed for a specific function. They can range from duties like providing traffic directions to security or even combat. But since they are programmed, there will always be bad faith actors taking advantage of security vulnerabilities in their programming.
We had an incident once where some civilians thought they were playing a harmless smartphone game but it playing the game allowed them to take control of some of our military drones. It was a nightmare, I was drowning in paperwork and field duty for months cleaning that security incident up.

This seems more your area of expertise than mine. Should I be concerned?

Do the inscriptions look familiar to you?

It is vaguely familiar, but it seems written by a different hand. An echo, perhaps. Do you know what Onmyodo is?
no subject
Most people don't put stock in it, where I come from.
[ when technological advances dominate society, ha. ]
An echo? That's an interesting way to put it.

I may be slightly annoyed that these would have been more useful if distributed last month.

Does it trouble you?

... probably evident because it takes a While for gino to reply. ]
I'm frankly much more used to either dealing with humans or rogue artificial intelligence than the undead.
... Does the idea of someone who has the power or ability to make these talismans, let alone that many of them, not concern you?
[ genuine question. ]
no subject
I am curious. Most practitioners don't distribute this many so indiscriminately.
This seems to trouble you more than the concept of the undead.
