Magic Island is a popular tourist destination situated in Honolulu, Hawaii. Also known as Aina Moana, it is a man-made peninsula located on the south shore of the island of Oahu. This beautiful park is surrounded by the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and offers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Magic Island was constructed in 1964 as part of a redevelopment project for Waikiki, and it quickly gained popularity among locals and visitors alike. The park spans over 30 acres and is a favorite spot for families, joggers, and picnickers. One of the main attractions of Magic Island is its expansive beach, which provides a perfect setting for sunbathing, swimming, and beach activities.

7 talisman or spellhearts, 11 with feats.
You must be wielding or wearing an item to activate a talisman attached to it. Once activated, a talisman burns out permanently, usually crumbling into a fine dust.
Each talisman’s stat block indicates the type of item it can be affixed to. Affixing or removing requires using the Affix a Talisman activity. A single talisman can be affixed to only one item at a time, and an item can have only one talisman affixed to it at a time.
Spellhearts behave the same way:
Spellhearts are permanent items that work similarly to talismans. You affix a spellheart using the Affix a Spellheart activity, which is otherwise identical to Affix a Talisman. The limit of one talisman per item remains—an item can have one spellheart or one talisman, not both.
I can have an indefinite amount of talismans attached to various equipment, but for the purpose of this question I'll only count talismans that I can activate at any time, that is, talismans affixed to items that I am "wielding or wearing".
The rules for carrying and using items have this say about wielding and wearing items:
A character carries items in three ways: held, worn, and stowed. Held items are in your hands; a character typically has two hands, allowing them to hold an item in each hand or a single two-handed item using both hands. Worn items are tucked into pockets, belt pouches, bandoliers, weapon sheaths, and so forth, and they can be retrieved and returned relatively quickly. Stowed items are in a backpack or a similar container, and they are more difficult to access.
[. ]
Some abilities require you to wield an item, typically a weapon. You're wielding an item any time you're holding it in the number of hands needed to use it effectively. When wielding an item, you're not just carrying it around—you're ready to use it. Other abilities might require you to be wearing the item, to be holding it, or simply to have it.
Unreasonable Reading
Say I have a dagger that's sheathed on my belt, meaning it's being worn, by the loosest reading of talisman rules that's sufficient to activate a talisman attached to the dagger, because I'm "wielding or wearing" the dagger. Likewise, if I hang a padded armor off my belt I'm also wearing it, and that's sufficient to activate a talisman affixed to it. By this reading, I can have an indefinite amount talismans that I can activate at any time: I could wear a lot of light weapons (talismans affixed to weapons typically trigger off some part of a strike so they wouldn't be practical, but I could activate affixed spellhearts without wielding these weapons). However, it's self-evident that this reading must be wrong, and that this bit about ambiguous rules applies:
Sometimes a rule could be interpreted multiple ways. If one version is too good to be true, it probably is. If a rule seems to have wording with problematic repercussions or doesn’t work as intended, work with your group to find a good solution, rather than just playing with the rule as printed.
So when the rules for talismans says that I "must be wielding or wearing an item to activate a talisman attached to it" there's an implied "as appropriate for the item in question". In other words, I must wield weapons or shields and must properly wear armor (not just hang it from a belt or stuff it in a bandolier).
Items
There's a few odd items to address, before we count how many talismans I could activate at any time.
-
Free-hand weapons such a gauntlets. The trait states that:
When you're not wielding anything and not otherwise using the hand, you can use abilities that require you to have a hand free as well as those that require you to be wielding a weapon in that hand. Each of your hands can have only one free-hand weapon on it.
An attached weapon must be combined with another piece of gear to be used. The trait lists what type of item the weapon must be attached to. You must be wielding or wearing the item the weapon is attached to in order to attack with it. For example, shield spikes are attached to a shield, allowing you to attack with the spikes instead of a shield bash, but only if you're wielding the shield. An attached weapon is usually bolted onto or built into the item it's attached to, and typically an item can have only one weapon attached to it. An attached weapon can be affixed to an item with 10 minutes of work and a successful DC 10 Crafting check; this includes the time needed to remove the weapon from a previous item, if necessary. If an item is destroyed, its attached weapon can usually be salvaged.
A character can wear only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
So in total I can properly wear armor, properly wear and invest handwraps of mighty blows, properly wear and invest bracers of armor, and wield two weapons/shields each with an attached weapon, for a total of 7 items and therefore 7 talismans or spellhearts that I can activate at any time.
Feats
I have identified a few feats that can further increase the maximum.
- Talismanic sage and Grand Talisman Esoterica each allow for one additional talisman or spellheart.
- Juggle states:
You can start to Juggle with a single stored item, an item you were carrying, or an unattended item within your reach. The item must be of light or negligible Bulk. You Juggle the item until the end of your next turn, unless you use this feat against next turn to continue Juggling (see below). While you are Juggling, you can use this action again to add another item to the Juggle, which must meet all the same requirements. You can Juggle a number of items equal to one more than the number of hands you are using to Juggle. [. ] As long as you’re Juggling fewer than your maximum number of items, you have a free hand. You can wield weapons you are Juggling (but not shields or other items) as long as they can be wielded in one hand. For example, while you Juggle a dagger in one hand and wield a shield in the other, you are wielding the dagger but still have a free hand to Cast a Spell with a material component. Juggling two or more weapons with one hand doesn’t allow you to use feats that require two weapons each held in a different hand.
Mummified Bat is nice for dealing with invisible enemies

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Magic Island Hawaii. The park was extremely crowded and it was difficult to find a peaceful spot to enjoy the scenery. On top of that, the price of admission was far too high for what you got. The attractions were lackluster and there were long lines for everything. The staff also seemed disinterested and unhelpful. Overall, I would not recommend visiting Magic Island if you're looking for a relaxing and enjoyable day out.
2. John - ★★☆☆☆
My visit to Magic Island Hawaii was underwhelming to say the least. The park felt outdated and in need of refurbishment. The rides were not very exciting and the food options were limited and overpriced. Additionally, there was a lack of shade and seating areas, making it difficult to find a comfortable place to rest. Overall, I expected more from a popular tourist attraction like Magic Island and I left feeling disappointed and unimpressed.
3. Emily - ★★☆☆☆
I was excited to visit Magic Island Hawaii based on all the positive reviews I had heard, but unfortunately, my experience fell short of my expectations. The park was overcrowded and it felt like there were too many people trying to enjoy the limited space. The attractions were nothing special and most of them had long wait times. The park also lacked proper signage and it was difficult to navigate through the different areas. Overall, I wouldn't recommend Magic Island as there are much better options for entertainment and relaxation in Hawaii.
4. Michael - ★☆☆☆☆
Magic Island Hawaii was a huge disappointment for me and my family. The park was dirty and unkempt, with overflowing trash bins and a lack of cleanliness in the bathrooms. The staff seemed disorganized and unprofessional, adding to the overall negative experience. The rides and attractions were not well-maintained and some were even out of order. Considering the high price of admission, I would expect a lot better. Save your money and skip this place if you can.
