>>>I first thought that the case of party A was correct, but I has to admit

was wrong. I reread the section of talisman attunement and it states that
the item has to be prepared for enchantment. It may have instilled
effects, whose primary enchanter is the magus/maga whom has opened the
item. The attuming magus has to have prepared the item for enchantments
himself.



Party B has argued this; Party A is quite firm that a talisman uses only the 
opening rules for talismans, which override the usual prep rules.

Thanks for weighing in!
