[QUOTE="GuardianLurker, post: 87574, member: 786"] Videophone networks - I know it was possible in 2e, and I don't remember the exact spell (I think it was Magic Mirror), and it may not have made the transition to 3e. But basically, the spell allowed you to set-up a real-time, two-way, video-audio connection - provided that the target (subject, place, or mirror) was uniquely identifiable. A high-level spell, it wasn't suitable for the masses, but great for those times when you need to send a message really quick. And with a judicious use of permanent... The only drawback was that the mirror was always "on", and didn't end up with a "ringer". But both are relatively easily solved - by a cloth and magic mouth. Steam engines... can easily be duplicated using a small fire elemental; strangely enough, probably one of the best choices is an Elemental [Fire] Green Slime. Combine this with a Decanter of Endless Water, and you have an eco-friendly mode of transportation. Rod of Heat Metal - (it has to be a rod so anyone can use it) Apply to metal tub - hot bath in under a minute. Apply to metal coil - insta-hot plate. Cloudkill is a great vermin killer - heavier than air poison; it may or may not harm crops though, so check with the GM before using it during the growing season. DBF's are really great if you can combine them with missile weapons - catapults with DBF scatter-shot, arrows with DBF heads, etc. Wands of Mount could be rather key to a good messenger service.
