Any item which initiates a magical spell or affect when activated can be considered a magic item. This includes but is not limited to wands & rods, potions, jewelery such as rings & amulets, and various crystals & gems. The primary skill associated with them is Magic Item Use. Usually, items contain basic spells which characters are capable of learning, but rarer objects have been known to possess magic which cannot be learned by any profession. Magic items can be created by players, purchased at merchant shops and festivals, or found via the treasure system. Certain ones will also possess the capability to have their charges restored, and others simply crumble once the magic is depleted.
