Magic Items
Magic items are gleaned from the hoards of conquered monsters or discovered in long-lost vaults. Such items grant capabilities a character could rarely have otherwise, or they complement their owner’s capabilities in wondrous ways.
These potent artifacts can imbue your characters with powerful magical effects, from enhancing their natural abilities to granting them entirely new powers that defy the limits of mundane equipment. Additionally, magic items often carry lore and secrets that can lead to new adventures or unravel mysteries within the game’s narrative, adding layers of depth to both character development and storyline progression.
