We're discussing magic effects here, which have their own laws and nature, part of which (in 3e D&D) involves affecting inanimate objects differently depending on whether they are in the possession of a creature or not. If you need to justify it, just say that all creatures have an aura which draws magic to them rather than to their possessions. Or say that the invisible fairies of possession guard items wielded or possessed by a creature. Or come up with something else. None of it is inherently more unrealistic or reasonable than saying that you live on a giant rock which hangs in space and flies around a giant flaming ball of gas.Realism, forsooth!</blockquote>
