[QUOTE="GreatLemur, post: 3610481, member: 28553"] I'm strongly of the opinion that this practice should just be standard, for both spells and magic items. I've got one low-level Wizard in a forum-based game whose eyes go solid black when he casts [i]detect magic[/i], and players in the game I'm running tonight have recently run into [i]scrolls of animate dead[/i] that are strips of paper covered in prayers to ancestor spirits, inserted into the mouths of the corpses they animated. Tonight, they'll probably run into something that's mechanically an augment crystal, but in the form of a similar strip of prayer-scribed paper, tied around a weapon. Soon, they'll be facing a Sorcerer whose [i]summon monster I[/i] involves him transforming live rats and weasels (pulled from a sack at his side) into horrible little mutations which die when the spell's duration ends. I don't want to bother with the disease rules, so the things he creates won't even be fiendish dire rats, mechanically, but probably celestial dogs (Smite Good? Hell, I don't even use alignment, and who notices an extra +1, anyway?). [/QUOTE]
