I've just read all the notes you suggested and found that the effects are very different from what described in the novel. In all of the examples above, the effects were mental and only through prolonged exposure - user became confused, delirious and formed an unhealthy attachment to the charms. In the novel, the effects were immediate, and more or less physical (except for the hallucinations). People become disorientated, vomit and knocked-out cold when come close to Zhukov (the closer it is the stronger the effects are), but their thoughts are clearly lucid. Not to mention the fact that in your notes, the effects were ON the user himself, while the bonecharm in the book affect people AROUND the user.
