Need some suggestions

Special (magic, modern, or sci-fi - for a generic system) items which you can describer in one quick sentence. I've made a brief start. It's all very casual. The idea is to make a list of 20 or so generic items.

• Healing Potion. This adds +1 Health.
• Holy Grail. No, you can’t have that.
• Invisibility Cloak. Or ring. Could be either. The latter might be evil.
• Magic Carpet. It flies and you can ride it. It might be a broomstick. Or a jetpack.
• Magic Sword. Does +1 damage on account of being magic. And sharp.
• Magic Wand. It gives you an extra die on Power rolls.
• Talking Car. It obeys your commands.
• X-Ray Glasses. They do what they say. Can’t see though lead, because that’s what it says in Superman.

(Don't worry about the stats; it's more the ideas).

Mystical Compass. Grants +1 on search roll to find whatever you're looking for.
Magic Map. You always know where you are. That doesn't mean you're never lost, though.

They don’t all have to be fantasy — iconic gadgets and technological wonders are totally appropriate too!

 

[Lanefan]

Reality Paint - whatever you paint on a surface comes out real either permanently or for x-amount of time - can be used to paint a tunnel or door or window for example, that work as such for as long as the paint lasts. Artistic talent optional; if you can get it sort of close the paint will figure out the rest.
Reception Hat - wearer tunes a knob above the left ear and can receive or intercept any remote communications (magical, psionic, or on mundane airwaves - these can be settings on the tuning knob) passing through wearer's location; a knob above the right ear is for volume; and understanding and-or translation is not provided - you hear what you hear.
Tin Hat - cursed version of the Reception Hat; it works the same but substitutes what it thinks you want to hear in place of any actual signals received.
Oxygenator - small device held to nose (must be held by hand), allows-provides normal breathing in any situation e.g. underwater, in outer space, in otherwise-poisonous air, etc.; but doesn't help with anything else e.g. water pressure, ambient temperature, etc.

Is this the sort of thing you're after?

Swiss Army Spy Watch - usually contains a laser, or a grapple, or explosives.
Tarot of the Loa -used for divination and contacting spirits
Black Hat Palm Pilot - that little computer than can hack anything, comes with wires and sticky-inny bits
