Permanent items are re-usable items with specific special effects. The Darksign is a special permanent ‘item’ (really a cursed brand on your body!) that allows you to instantly return to a Bonfire, at the cost of losing all of your Souls. Generally you should be carrying a decent sized stack of Homeward Bone items for this purpose, until you acquire the Coiled Sword Fragment later in the game. The Dragon Torso and Head stones can only be used while not wearing armor.
