1. A method of forming a position indicator that is used with a position detection device including a position detection sensor, the method comprising:
providing a first function module including a core body that, in operation, is brought into contact with an input surface for position detection in the position detection sensor, and a position detection signal transmission circuit that, in operation, transmits a position detection signal to the position detection sensor; and
providing a second function module including a first function circuit that, in operation, generates characteristic selection information corresponding to a characteristic of the core body or a characteristic of the input surface and transmits the characteristic selection information to an outside of the position indicator, or a second function circuit that generates, in operation, a stimulus corresponding to the characteristic selection information such that a user who is holding the position indicator audibly or tactilely perceives the stimulus,
wherein the first function module and the second function module are disposed in an axial direction of a casing,
wherein a tip end of the core body of the first function module projects to the outside of the position indicator from an opening on a first end in the axial direction of the casing, and
wherein the second function module is disposed on the first end in the axial direction of the casing and is attachable to and detachable from the casing.
