[QUOTE="nevin, post: 8165001, member: 7024481"] Ok, I think I understand better now. Maybe the magic item economy runs on different things. Dragon scales, special metals like mithril and adamantine, and other Rare magical materials. The mages that make the magic items are a guild and they make them for the rulers. The only other magic Items would be illegally made or stolen. Technically they are worth something but what if magic items are like US military Tech. the really powerful stuff just isnt for sale. You only get it illegally or use them if you work for the authorities. then all that money could only buy magic items if the "cops" wanted to break the law, and selling stuff to the underworld would be against the law. Even though in the underworld money would buy stuff, in the legal world your "cops" wouldn't be able to sell or buy such things. They could turn them in if they decide they don't need them so other "cops" could use them. [/QUOTE]
