There are a couple of talismanic characters that are similar to EVA-k and EVA-t (ones that are related to incantations about demons) but in general, the VMS glyphs (or their positions) do not seem related to talismanic scripts.
At one point (years ago), I learned to read some of these talismanic characters, but if you don't use a new skill regularly it tends to fade and I would have to refresh my memory.
The problem with the talismanic glyphs is they do not match up with the VMS in terms of position. So, the similarity may be coincidental, or perhaps the VMS designer saw them in a manuscript or on an amulet and simply borrowed the shapes for some other purpose.
Whether there is "magic" in the VMS is, I believe, a separate question. Certainly it's possible that there might be. Magic and reality were pretty intimately entwined in the medieval mind.
