'talisman' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a stubborn fellow trouble at first' is the wordplay.
'stubborn fellow' becomes 'mule' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'at first' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'trouble' is 't'.
'a'+'mule'+'t'='AMULET'

'gives' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
