Generic Magical Items
By: manfred

These are the items magic-users and alchymists would be really creating: minor, useful, and easy to sell.

But really:

Why slave away for twenty years creating a magic sword you and yours can’t use - and nobody can really re-emburse you for your time spent (and lack of lifespan after), when you can do a few days work and sell the results for big bucks?

This is a list of the more interesting common magical items, and enchantments the workers of magic are likely to know. You don’t save the world every day, you also have to survive.

This is one of the Codices that the site really needs. It also serves as a reminder to people that every magic item does not have to be epic and totally unique. There are some processes which are going to be produced (or be producable) by everyone.

I usually don't give out 5 scores for submissions. But this one struck a cord with me. I too feel the need for mundane items. I even started a thread in the old forums about it but was derailed by disbelievers... Muhahah

Anyway, I agree 110% with this idea manfred. Great idea.

Also, I had the idea that it wasn't always the most powerful that created magic items. They had ot learn somewhere. But what was the content of their first trys? I had thought in my world that apprentices would be required to create mundane items to learn and prove their worth. Another reason why items could be mundane, the unskilled made them and the powerful items were from the ones who learned quick.

manfred, the elder of the Slovakian dynamic duo, has done it again. Great initiative manfred.

If people want to take this even further and create non-magic items, take a look at my Loot and Rewards thread.

A tribe of barbarians appear wearing necklaces of bear claws and great cloaks of brown fur. They are physically much larger than normal humans, much stronger, and shrug of the most vicious of wounds. They call themselves the Aklak after their totem spirit. - From the Inuit word for Grizzly Bear
