The givers could be aliens would want to assist land dwellers or help them destroy themselves (look at the magic item list for how many relate to combat).Or it could be solid magic. That is why it doesn't corrode. Magic becomes a solid in stars, deep space, planetary rings, Legrange points, when certain planets align, gods dying or being born, whatever. Those who build spelljammers can become insanely wealthy- enough to destroy whole economies, at least until the gold is reduced by magic item creation.</blockquote>
