'a charming thing' is the definition.
'talisman' can be an answer for 'thing' (I have seen 'Lucky thing' mean 'talisman' so perhaps 'thing' could also mean 'talisman'). I'm unsure of the 'a charming' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for talisman that I've seen before include "Object supposed to bring good luck" , "Liam, Stan has charm." , "Object believed to have magic powers" , "It's thought to be a magical protection against evil or disease" , "Magical good luck charm" .)
