I voted flavor, but what I really meant was utility. I mean, I have to choose between a sword +1 and a sword that .... glows? Really? I hope that's not the kind of BS magic items that people associate with "flavor item". Do I want the sword that's actually useful or do I want the sword that mimics the cantrip that every caster already has?Preference question, and no wrong answer. In your games, do you prefer magic items to add flavor to the game, or do you prefer magic items that offer mechanical bonuses.
For example, what sounds like it would add more fun to your game, getting a +1 sword, or getting a sword that illuminated upon command with the brightness of a torch. Would you prefer a suit of +1 armor, or armor that never needed repair and was always gleaming?
Choosing between a sword +1 and a sword that's also a torch isn't that fun; choosing between the sword +1 and a sword that grants you the appearance of the last person the sword has killed is a much more compelling choice.
