[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9648245, member: 58172"] For my settings, I treat all magic items as sapient, possessing whatever intention the creator had when creating them. Attunement is essentially telepathy, to make sure the characters intention and the items intention are compatible. For this reason, magic items cannot be bought and sold, just like people cannot be bought and sold. The items dont necessarily cooperate. I encourage players to create their own magic items, that thus have their own intentions. Items from a bastion are essentially crafted by the owner of the bastion and have the intentions that the owner intends. Sometimes low-tier industrial magic items are intended to be usable casually by anyone, a kind of "city magic". One cant really sell magic items as a commodity, but one can trade favors and negotiate. Perhaps some items are specific to a certain faction, in which other faction members might be able to benefit from the item. And so on. [/QUOTE]
