Well, I use many different approaches in Coldforged. Some of these angles of approach are:
-Superior craftsmanship, for instance the D&D "once in a lifetime masterpiece of a dwarven master smith", makes a weapon magic
-Powerful emotions makes weapons magic. Just like powerful emotions while dying makes a ghost, powerful emotions can also imbue items with magic
-Worship makes an item magic (holy relics for instance)
-Enhancing weapons while dreaming makes weapons magic. (For those who know how to do so)
-Sacrificed and bound spirits and souls makes weapons magic
-Being used or touched by beings of power makes weapons magic
-Bathing the weapons in the blood of enemies makes weapons magic
-Blessings makes weapons magic
-Special metals and/or alloys makes weapons magic
-Magic makes weapons magic
-Psionic abilities makes weapons magic
-Technology makes weapons magic

and so on. Add chrome and rituals and you have your quest entries.

Hmmm, quick thought. Do we want only "weapons" or "items" in general?

Eh, weapons. Most of the principles will be applicable to items in general, but magic weapons seem to always be the most prevalent in game worlds(which makes sense: just about every technology is first applied to weaponry, then to civie stuff).
P(A|B) = P(B|A)*P(A)/P(B)

By the power of Bayes!

The What Makes a weapon Magic Quest is at at end. I think from first glance, we came up with 9-10 entries, and within the next 24-48 hours, I'll get a poll up, so our winners can be selected!

Good luck to all, and thanks to everyone who participated!
