I'm working on a short-story for a writing contest. For the story, I need to think of as many magic items as I can that the general public (vs. us hardcore gaming types) is aware of through exposure to fables, fairy tales etc.
Example: 1) a magic mirror....thanks to Snow White, of course.
2) an apple...due to Sleeping Beauty.
Alright, with those Disney examples to get you started, please help me come up with more items. Please tell me the item, and tell me its source/story if you know it.
Thanks.
P.S. Also, to broaden this a bit, even a list of "most famous magic items"...maybe a top 10 or 20 would also be helpful. And yeah, yeah, "one ring to bind them all" will be #1. If you say "a ring" give me some different famous examples of magic rings.
