Magic items are cards, like Features. Keep them simple: **one clear effect** each. ## Item Tiers | Tier | Typical effect | How common | |---|---|---| | **1 – Wondrous trinket** | a cantrip once per scene; Advantage on one narrow kind of roll | village wise-woman | | **2 – Fine** | +1 die on weapon damage; a Tier 1 spell once per Quick Rest; +1 Evasion | city market, rare | | **3 – Rare** | a Tier 2 spell once per Quick Rest; +2 Threshold armor; flight for a scene | hoards and temples | | **4 – Legendary** | a Tier 3–4 spell once per Full Rest; a unique power with a story | one per campaign arc | ## Rules of Thumb * Prefer **Advantage**, **extra dice**, or **once-per-rest powers** over flat bonuses. * A charged item uses its **wielder's** Action Load and the spell's normal cost; the wielder rolls the Aspect printed on the item (or the maker's Aspect for Maker items). * No item should replace a Domain: give **one** Domain-like trick, not a whole kit. * Era matters: in a low-magic Viking saga, a single rune-blade is a legend; in a sky-ship setting, Tier 1–2 items can be shop goods. ## Example Items * **Rune-Cut Axe (Tier 2):** +1d6 damage on a hit against creatures of the old dark (trolls, draugr). * **Cloak of the Grey Gull (Tier 2):** once per Quick Rest, cast *Pillow Catch* on yourself (0 Action Load). * **Lantern of True Shadows (Tier 3):** creatures in its light can't be Hidden. * **The Admiral's Glass (Tier 3):** a spyglass; once per voyage, ask the GM one true question about a ship you can see.
