마법 아이템

Magic items are any objects that have exceptional or supernatural components to them. Sometimes they might not technically be magical, but with their effect might as well be. They often increase a user’s power, agency, and ability to affect the world around them.

Below are guidelines for how to use magic items in your game. You can change all of these to fit your world, tone, and goals for your game, but these are the default suggestions.

Some magic items may tell you to mark a specific Condition. If the Condition is already marked, lock it instead. If it’s already locked, lock another Condition of the GM’s choice.

Magic items are almost never merely purchased. They are rare, often unique, and usually can only be found through adventures. Some campaigns might not have magic items at all.

When a PC acquires a magic item by Leveling Up, they choose from the Example Magic Items or create it themselves. When a magic item is found in the fictional world, the GM creates it.

Most magic items existed before they were found by the PCs, and likely affected the world and narrative then. Perhaps an enemy was using the item before they were felled, or the item was specifically sealed or hidden here for a purpose. Maybe the previous owner perished or lost it. The GM may often use them to shape or inform the adventure before the PCs acquire them.

There are several ways to handle recognizing and learning to use magic items, depending on how you want to portray them and varying depending on the item itself.

• Once you trigger its effects. This is the default since players need to engage the item narratively before they see its mechanics. Even without definitively identifying it, PCs can intuit, research, Spout Lore, or ask around to get information about the magic item and how it might work.
• When you Make Camp, you automatically learn how it works, maybe you spend some time during your break experimenting and learning. This encourages Making Camp a bit more for groups that might want to avoid it, and can make the choice of when to do so more interesting.
• When you first pick it up. Maybe it imprints knowledge onto its holder, communicates directly, has written instructions, or it’s just really obvious how to use it.
• When you get a specialist to reveal or unlock it. Perhaps this magic item has a protective charm that needs to be broken before someone new can use it, or perhaps figuring magic items out is a very involved and dangerous process that has a dedicated profession in your world.
