[RangerWickett]

a lot of items...

I need to spread some XP around before I can give you anymore. But thanks for adding a ton.


For the rest of you, I'm out of XP for today, but thank you muchly. I've got a personal project I'm writing up, and this list is very handy. Plus, it reminds me not to be so stingy with magic gear.

-The Philosopher's stone, the ultimate goal of many an alchemist, which was said to be the elixir of life, the road to immortality, to be able to transmute lead into gold.

- Runes are sometimes associated with magic or divination.

-Different traditions of divination often have different tools associated with them, such as the divining rod, tealeaves, or the like. In ancient China they used to heat up bones and turtle shells until they would crack, and then make divinations based on which way the cracks would form.

-Housing and architecture can be designed for various supernatural purposes. The Winchester House was owned by the wife of the creator of the Winchester rifles. Really weird place, had doors that lead to nowhere, superfluous chimneys, etc. Sarah Winchester had it under continual construction allegedly to keep the spirits of those who died by the rifle at peace. The mansion is sometimes portrayed as a trap or ward against spirits. Similarly, gargoyles were sometimes said to ward away evil spirits. Feng shui is often associated with influencing the flow of energy (both positive and negative).

Did I miss it, or did nobody include the One Ring of Power (either Tolkien's or the Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung)?
