[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2739306, member: 177"] That depends. Why did you want to destroy the magic items in the first place? Cant' figure out what else to use until we know why you didn't want the items around. The simplest solution is to not [i]replace[/i] them with anything. Just have the machine destroy all currently existing magic items. Casters can go ahead and make more, but recall that making items takes time and XP - the old items are not going to be replaced any time soon. Well, again, that depends - what sort of items are out and about in the world? Any items keeping major demons/devils/elementals/other nasties contained? Any magically supported infrastructure or safety features for communities? Magical transport systems? Without magical weapons to defeat them, any critter with damage reduction is going to have a bit of a field day... In general, it ought to take time - years to decades - for people to develop replacements. Remember that whatever replacement you use is currently completely unknown to the population. You will not suddenly have stunt schools replacing magic shops, because nobody knows any stunts right now at all. [/QUOTE]
