An excellent article clarifying a number of points on the process on creating magical items. Its really good, and after I read it, I felt I had a better understanding. It actually makes me excited about creating magical items.

This is another piece of content from Sean that my group will be using.

I liked it too. I myself will allow the option 4 for potions in my game.

His article was good.

If, after reading it, you still think that the way magic item creation works is lame, then check out this link:

I personally prefer (and use) option 2.5. The one between option 2 and option 3.

2.5. You can only make a potion out of a spell that affects a single person. That spell affects the drinker.

This works like option 2, except that a potion of shocking grasp would not allow the drinker to touch someone to deliver an electrical attack. A potion of shocking grasp would be like a trap, the shocking grasp effect would be suffered by the drinker (a good way to fry your throat).

For option 4, I have already Gem Magic.
