I see that you wrote this 7 months ago and hope you were able to get the amulet and elixir figured out.
I'll still answer just because I'm doing an assignment at this point in time about the same subject matter.
From Joseph Campbell's Monomyth...
An Amulet: During the early stages of the journey, the hero will often receive aid from a protective figure. This supernatural helper can take a wide variety of forms, such as a wizard, an old man, a dwarf, a crone, or a fairy godmother. The helper commonly gives the hero a *protective amulet or weapon for the journey*.
(i.e. Harry Potter had the invisible cloak and the magical map of Hogwart's; Frodo had the sword that turned blue when Orks were near...)
An Elixir is the object, knowledge, or blessing that the hero acquired during the adventure is now put to use in the everyday world. Often it has restorative or healing function, but also serves to deifine the hero's role in the society.
