Many magic items double effects of various spells. You may need to refer to power reference to find referenced powers.
When a new character is created, some magic items might be selected. Unless noted otherwise, the character is entitled to take level-10 magic items (mimimum 0, wiseguys). Any permanent magic item can be replaced with 3 wands or 6 one-use items. Items marked with * count as two of that kind. Items marked with ** are special, no ring of wishing can be taken and amulet of life saving count as a wand.
It is possible for a skilled magician to create various magic items. Normal minimum requirements are laboratory, rare ingredients and time. Ingredients are left to GM's discretion, but some guidelines for creation operation itself:
| Rings | |
|
Magical rings are very common magical items used by many creatures with fingers or similar extremes. No more than one ring can be on each hand; multiple rings will cause unexpected results (probably both will stop to work). | |
| Ring of X Resistance | Wearer gains resistance against the element. Usually against fire, cold, poison or lightning. |
| Ring of X Immunity* | As resistance, but grants immunity. |
| Ring of X Vulnerability | As resistance, but vulnerability. Reveal use detects as resistance ring, however! |
| Ring of Free Action | The wearer is immune to paralyzation. |
| Ring of Invisiblity | The wearer is invisible as long as the ring is worn. |
| Ring of Levitation | The wearer levitates as long as the ring is worn. |
| Ring of Polymorph Control | If the wearer is concentrating on a certain creature at the time of polymorph, he is primarily transformed into that form. |
| Ring of Protection | The wearer gains +1 save. This is not cumulative with any other protection device! |
| Ring of Regeneration | The wearer regenerates at the rate of one health restoration each hour. |
| Ring of Teleport Control | When teleported by an outer force the wearer teleports to location he is currently thinking of, if within range. |
| Ring of True Seeing | The wearer can see the invisible and has night vision. |
| Ring of Wishing** | The wearer may wish once, and then the ring becomes non-magical. See GM section for details. |
| Amulets | |
|
Magical amulets are worn in the neck. Only one amulet can be worn at the time, multiple amulets will all cease to work or have other effects. In addition to their magical value, they are usually precious jewelry. | |
| Amulet of Curse Protection | The wearer has resistance to curses. This protection is granted to his items, too. |
| Amulet of ESP | The wearer gains power to use ESP as with level 2 spell. |
| Amulet of Grounding | This amulet grounds all lightning attacks cast on wearer, granting him immunity to lightning and stopping bolts at him, if they hit. |
| Amulet of Intact Form | The wearer is resistant to polymorph, including disintegration and petrification. |
| Amulet of Life Protection | The wearer gains resistance to death. |
| Amulet of Life Saving** | Protects the wearer from one death, was that from some effect or single hit. The effect is negated and the amulet crumbles to dust. Cannot help against multiple hits. If the death occurs because of a failed death save when at zero or lower health levels, the character does not die, yet, but his health levels do not raise. |
| Amulet of Magical Breathing | The wearer does not need to breathe and cannot suffocate. |
| Amulet of Mind Protection | The wearer is immune to mind and cannot be detected with ESP. |
| Amulet Versus Poison | The wearer is immune to poison. |
| Magic Weapons | |
|
All magic weapons are normal melee or thrown weapons unless noted otherwise. Big weapon variants are very rare! Most are named after standard type of weapon, but there appear also axes, maces, warhammers etc. Named weapons are unique artifacts with multiple powers. These weapons can also be intelligent and conversate either telepathically or verbally, and can have preferences for wielder. Those are not listed here. | |

| Firebrand | Deals 1 + 2 fire damage |

| Magical Armor, Body | |
|
Any body armor is replacement for other armor. If the magical armor is classified as light or heavy armor, it grants all advantages and disadvantages of regular armor of that type, unless noted otherwise. However, magical armors are almost always easier to put on and to keep in shape. | |

| Magical Armor, Miscellaneuos | |
|
Shields grant same advantages and disadvantages as regular shield, see characters. | |

| Shield of Reflection | On a d6 roll 2+, reflects any bolts hitting the wielder. |

| Staffs | |
|
Magical staffs are usually typical quarter staffs with possible magical properties, but nonethless dealing only 1 point of damage unless noted otherwise. However, they also have special powers. These powers usually use charges, and if none left, the staff cannot be used until the staff is reloaded. Unless noted otherwise, these charges can be reloaded by any magician as by casting a power 8 spell on it. However, if the staff is loaded to more than 10 charges, roll a d6 for each charging, and on a roll 1 the staff breaks. As with wands, the powers are usually used as bolts, see wands for more details. | |

| Wands | |
|
Wands are usually a 30-50 cm rod which is used by waving it. A certain power word maybe required, but not usually. Each wand usually has about 5-10 charges (d6+4) unless noted otherwise.

Potions are one-use small vials with magical effects. The taste is usually different from potion to potion, except that potions from the same patch usually have a same odor, taste and color. Drinking a potion only partially only wastes the liquid. If a potion breaks, the evaporating gases may sometimes affect the closest creature. On a d6 roll 4+, evaporating may affect.

| Scrolls | |
|
Anyone skilled in read/write can read a scroll and launch its magical effect. Reading a scroll requires normally only one round of combat time. Upon completing its effect, the scroll crumbles to dust. Scrolls usually have a title in some ancient language, but scrolls with identical title are usually of the same effect. | |
| Scroll of Item Protection | When read, the first item touched by the reader becomes protection from any normal wear, acid and other similar effects. If the item is already damaged, it is repaired. |
| Scroll of Magic Mapping | When this scroll is read, the reader has his hand enchanted for a while and he draws a map of surrounding area in a few strokes. Complex maps are not copied. |
| Recharging Scroll* | This scroll can be used to recharge any item with charges. A wand or staff is charged to d10 charges, but on a roll 1 roll d6. On a second 1, the staff or wand breaks, otherwise the second roll is the number of charges. A cursed scroll drains d6 charges, destroying it if reduced to less than 0 charges. |
| Protection Scroll from Undead | Creates an invisible ward with diameter of 5 meters, and no undead can enter that area. This ward lasts about 6 hours and has power of 40, but is instantly dispelled if the scroll is removed from the center. There exists protection scrolls against various outer-planar creatures and animals, too. |
| Spell Scroll | Almost any spell can be written into a scroll, and is then launched when read, using the power level used while written. The spell usually targets the caster or direction he is pointing at. The power level is 10 in normal cases. |
