This was something started on a D&D website I visit ofton, have fun!

"Anway, you know how it goes. The person before you has left the name of a magic item. You post what it is and how it works, and leave the name of the next item for the person below you.

And of course, I'll start."

(this is what I started into the game with, the item chosen by the one before me etc etc)

Andy's Tasty Treat

Andy's Tasty Treat is the result of a gluttonous psi-shaper's ultimate dream shaped into reality by his chocolate obscessed mind.

It comes in the form of a flat wooden box tastefully inlaid with gold that holds within it the most mind-destroyingly delicious fudge that could hope to be crafed from ectoplasm. The fudge can never be finished off, for one taste dooms the eater to death by sugar poisoning followed by the choking on the tongue as it dives down the throat after the first delicious morsel.

The Holy Llama's Canteloupe

Created by an aspiring young Cleric in an attempt to up the number of legitimate marriages in his community, this llama trinket is about the size of an adult human male's palm and appears to be carved from walnut wood; small, flawed emeralds - no larger than the pinky fingernail - are set in the head as eyes and a painted, white wreath hangs around its neck, a seperately carved piece.

When given to a young woman or man who is currently in a relationship, it suppresses any urge to elope and forces them to look for ways to get married with the families' consent.

Crate of Orange, Multiplying Lizards

A joke created by Gred Lucav, master gnomish enchanter. Thirty of them were found in his basement after his untimely death.

Each crate contains a single, large (1 1/2 foot long, 1/2 foot wide), ugly looking orange lizard. Upon the container being opened, it crawls out and seeks the nearest brothel or other house of ill repute (Sometimes finding a solitary, discreet business). There, it hides beneath the floors reproducing asexually until there is no more room left. When this happens, they all emerge and leave at once, pouring through the front exit. Finally, they rapidly merge together until only one is left, which promptly seeks out another suitable empty container.

The lizards do not eat, cause no direct harm upon being discovered or on exiting the building, and are completely inanimate once the original spell is disrupted.

Wand of the Snails

Originally intended as a joke item, this 6" long wand is made from ash wood and crystal. The name of the mage who created it has long since been lost to time, but it is believed that he meant for it to be a present for his intended. Unfortunately, the spell went awry and instead of merely summoning the image of a hundred large snails, it brought them into existance. The snails, despite their immense size, are no different from normal snails and generally cause great damage to the vegetation wherever they appear.
Asides from this, the wand's effects are considered benign and require mage-talent to activate.

Anti-allergy Potion

A failed potion, made by Alevo Wyndfenner, a young half elf who is trying to become a druid. But he cannont do so because he is plagued with a horrible case of hay-fever.

The potion itself is a thick, sky-blue liquid in a small glass vial. It smells of pine needles and rotten fruit. One of Alevo's first attempts at making a potion. Unfortantly, he added to much nightshade and , and upon drinking it, his hayfever worsened tenfold, and is now in the infermiry of his local castle.

A Rainbow Coloured Battleaxe

Originially forged by dwarves, this battleaxe managed to fall into the hands of a mischievious mage with a passion for rainbows.
The exact spell used is unknown, but the effect of it certainly is not; the mage managed to alter the battleaxe so that when ever it's swung, the blade produces rainbows.
Unfortunately for anyone in the way, these rainbows have about the same effect as the blade itself would.
Some believe that the mage was attempting to create a new ranged weapon; it's unknown if this is considered a success or not. The weapon's current location is unknown.

'Alchemy For Dummies' starter kit.

This kit is for young, potential and starting alchemists. It was initially created by the Alchemists' Guild to decrease the number of deaths resulting from alchemy experiements gone wrong. At the lack of success in the original product, they hired a mage to redo it.
The improved product was much more successful, with informative, moving pictures on what to do for a successful experiment and what chemicals should only be combined under extremely controlled conditions.
However, the kit has been banned from some cities due to the graphic nature of the pictures involving experiments gone wrong.

Rytorth 05-23-2004 10:45 PM

It's okay. Soon as I can think of something decent to replace it with, I'm editing that post.

Okay, it's long-since edited now.

Self-repairing guitar, with ash-wood pick

Currently in the possession of a travelling bard who pleased the King with a song of inebriation, he is rumored to use it as an effective weapon.

This guitar does exactly what it's name suggests. Overnight, if it's damaged in any way, the damage inexplicably disappears, no matter how fragmented the guitar becomes. The user must merely keep the bridge piece, if nothing else, and the next morning he will find it whole. Unfortunately, the enchanter who created the instrument failed to realise that picks are commonly lost, and included one to ease part of the enchantment. As a result, any other pick used with the guitar instantly detunes it, and if the pick and guitar are seperated for long, the guitar's enchantment backfires, causing past damage to reappear until it is reunited with the pick.

Boots of Inertia.

originally created by a mage-phillosopher wanting to create clothing in accordance to the laws of the world, unfortunately, his experiment with some djinn joker showed him that by amplifying phisics he would get little result.

this boots are initially unmovable, and it takes a humongous amount of strenght to get them to move, but once they start accelerating, they will not stop until a specific command word is said while they implant the same amount of strenght in the opposite dirrection.

coming soon: Glasses of bug detection.

Rytorth 07-14-2004 09:19 PM

Glasses of Bug Detection

Created by a mage with a fear of bugs and an interest in unusual glasses, they are intended to warn one if any insects are near.
The ivory frames hold jade lenses and are spelled to be unbreakable.

Unfortunately, the lenses are no good at telling one what kind of bug one faces and, when worn, keep one from seeing anything but bugs.

Make-up Kits for Mages

These kits come with the seal of approval of Lady Worra D'Ravlon, noblewoman, and a popular dabbler in the "Learned Arts". Each kit contains beauty products aimed at those who wish to add a bit more otherworldliness on to their normal appearance.

Included is the popular crystalskin cream, which makes the skin it is applied to appear as rock crystal. The more that is rubbed in, the rougher the crystals look. Dyes may be added directly to the cream, resulting in crystals of that color.

Also inside is mirrorskin cream, lookaway tincture (which may now be safely applied to birthmarks and scars of -any- shape. Sorry!), Extract of Presence (for those days where intimidation is the only way), glow oil, musical lipstick in several moods, and the exclusive mimic's masque, allowing with a tiny ritual a person to have the face of another.

Despite the name, there is little need for one to be a mage to use these products. Lady D'Ravlon thought it would sell better.

Ball-and-chain of the dancer

Made to the specifications of some long-forgotten harem-owner, this lightweight ball-and-chain is not just an accessory! Impossibly thin strips of metal are woven to create a lacework along the thick iron which sits against the skin. The magical properties not only make the wearer a curvalicious dancer, once worn it also prevents the wearer of the ball-and-chain from doing anything but dance.

Notorious stories of attempted removals follow it from owner to owner, and rumours of the failed attempts to create an outfit to match (ending in reversed effects) are hushed up wherever possible.

Paperweight of the Pacifist

Originally created by a glass-maker, this paperweight depicts a red rearing horse with broken, golden shackles. It was later bought and enchanted by a war-mage who was tired of war and battles.

The enchantment forces those in the same room as the paperweight to look for solutions to their problems that do not involve violence. It also causes violence of any kind to be very difficult - if not impossible - to commit while in its' presence.
The effect only lasts while one is in the same room as the paperweight - although tests have been done and the size of the room does not seem to matter; the effect only ends once one has gone outside the walls that the paperweight is within.

Coffe Addition:

This wonderfully green goo, was made to enhance the flavor of coffee. Imported from the far off land of bolun - this stuff has been said to have a bit of a nutty flavor.

What someone failed to mention to this is - it also triggers ones allergies to nuts - any nut. A young fellow by the name of Glrub (and orc) who was having his morning coffee, on this day decided to sample of this perported goo, in hopes of adding that nut flavor without making him deathly ill (which was the case with almonds, peanuts, well most nuts).

When they found poor Glrub, he was a cool shade of grey - and quite dead. The coffee, never better.
