In other words, treat the magic item to always have your level.But generally, a magic item of your own level isn't all that hot. A magic item four levels above your own (and staying there), on the other hand, is incredibly valuable.So that's the span you have to work with <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />A level-2 item is mechanically insignificant, and will probably only serve a story role. I wouldn't sweat handing it out for free (even if you hand it out already at level 1 as a level 1 item - it leveling only when you reach level 4).A level+0 item is probably something you can give out nearly for free. Perhaps a feat slot at most; but really, it might be better to simply give a small boon to other characters too.A level+2 item is on the verge of being continuously useful. This I wouldn't hand out without some significant cost.A level+4 item is (per treasure parcel rules) something that will stay as your top-of-the-line magic item throughout your career. It is easily worth sacrificing a major class feature (seeing all that money you free up).</blockquote>
