Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ibram" data-source="post: 1982727" data-attributes="member: 17640">lets look at this way... instead of saying "buying" magic items lets call it aquiring magic items.IMC You have two choices when seeking a new magic item... find an old one that meets your needs or commision a new one to your specifications, both methiods have risks and benefits.New magic items: assuming that you have a spell caster on your side to be present during the creation you can be reasonably asured that there are no supprises in the enchantments.  You also can get something custom made to your specifications (getting the features you want).  On the downside you have to find a spell caster capable of casting the appropreate spells and a craftsman capable of creating the base item (not always the same person, most wizards dont have ranks in craft (weaponsmith)).  Then you have to aquire the materials to create the item, which may attract the attention of the Law (creating magic items is illegal IMC unless you are sanctioned by the Church).Old magic items:  through researching legends you can usualy find a weapon close to your needs, though not perfectly matched.  Once you have a specific weapon in mind you can seek it out and retreave it; sometimes this is a simple as finding the owner and paying her a very large sum, it could also be bartered for, most of the time it has to be stolen (either from a tomb or its present owner).  Old magic items can be dangerous to own however; not just because the possibility that some of its properties can be unknown but that it might be recognized (which brings other to try and bargan/steal the item).</blockquote>
