They aren't really boring as dirt or as interesting as a pair of socks. But I understand the intent of the hyperbole. I think items with only a daily power are lame. However, with a property they can be pretty cool. An at-will or encounter power spells cool. Just a property is sort of lame, but usually useful, like subtle weapon.Maybe if they can increase how interesting the items are without affecting their power, at least, not directly? Like, a frost weapon does everything is currently does, plus lets you cast some kind of a Frost related ritual (for free) once/day, like conjuring magical frost that could put out fires, create paths of ice in water, freeze a unconscious enemy, etc.EDIT: Important! And this out of combat usage should be more like 3E casting; well defined but broad so that it can used in more situations. Most current rituals seem, like my least favorite spells in 3E, too narrow/niche. Something like conjuring a fire (Conjure Flame?) can have very different uses even though it will always be the same spell. This cannot be said for a spell like "Arcane Lock." In that, it must be used a door, and it can only lock the door. Maybe not the best examples, but just the top of my head afterall.</blockquote>
