This is especially apparent in cases which could be analyzed under one or more sets of descriptions (like a wondrous item granting prot. evil--it could be unlimited times/day use activated 1st level spell or a +2 deflection bonus and +2 resistance bonus with no space limitation functional only against evil foes (30% cost reduction) also granting major immunities (ad hoc pricing)). It is no less true in other cases, however.There's a reason that there are rings of swimming and rings of jumping but no rings of bluff in the DMG.</blockquote>
