These are mere tools to you. But did you ever ask the craftsman who bound magic to steel how it was done? Or did he not even know the nature magic that he wrought?You see, magic is no simple process. It is tapping into the wellspring of the world, the stuff from which all living spirits are made. And when this energy is bound to an item, an animus is given birth.In this land, these spirits have the barest of existences, only dimly aware they are alive, unless the mage coaxes them forth*.But there is another land wherein these spirits spring forth as if seeds planted in fertile loam. Many who travel their by their own abilities never see it as anything but a quit and cool grassland dotted by huts and dominated by kingdoms with strangely varied citizens with an odd preponderance of magic items.But for those who travel there with trinkets such as yours, a different tale is told. The spirits awaken. What was once a silent blade become an intelligent object, keenly aware of its history. It purpose, however, is uncertain. Steel that was once a warrior's fondest ally can become his most dangerous enemy, perhaps even subverting his will.*** - That's in-game speak for creating an intelligent item.** - All permanent magic items and magic items that have 50 or more charges become intelligent items while on the Field of Whispering Steel. Roll all aspects randomly, INCLUDING ALIGNMENT.Thanks for the thread idea, Mouse, and thanks to all participants. Sorry I broke your 4 or 5 sentence rule. The last paragraph gets the gist if you just want it in one paragraph. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
