Amulets: Amulets are attuned to a specific sphere of magic.  They
provide their wearer with an affinity for magics of that sphere,
providing sensory (detect <sphere> magic) and/or defensive abilities
(damage reduction vs sphere), and/or enhancing the wearer's innate
manipulative ability, if any (plusses to the Sphere skill roll).  To
be effective, most amulets must be worn continuously over several days.  

 Charms: Charms protect against specific forces, substances or
objects; the more general the thing to be protected from, the weaker
the protection.  Charms must contain some of the thing they protect
against; thus, charms against thievery are at best difficult and
charms against Great Dragons are exceedingly rare.  To be effective,
they must be worn continuously for several days.  (Buy as
appropriate Protection power(s))

 Totems:  Totems represent and are attuned to specific beings or, in
rare cases, classes or races of beings.  Spells can be cast
on a being through its totem, if the caster is familiar with the
functioning of totems.  Totems also aid in contacting spirits (plusses
to contact roll, if any) and exceptionally powerful totems may allow
the holder to summon the spirit they are attuned to.

 Rods: Rods are magical storage batteries, designed to release their
energies to their wielder upon command and to absorb ambient mana to
replace them.  (END battery, as spellcasters)

 Wands: Wands are mana-focusing devices, designed to create the
patterns of a particular spell (power through focus, off of wielder's
END battery).  The shape of a wand is determined by the spell it
creates; generally they are intricate.  

 Staves: Staves are combination rods/wands; storing and channeling
mana.  (powers with their own END battery, as spellcasters)

 Spellstones:  Similar to a staff, spellstones do not have the ability
to absorb ambient mana(powers with their own END battery, no REC)

 Exceptional/magical weapons: Exceptional weapons may have higher DEF
and/or lack of weakness(to prevent breakage), range bonuses (for
missile weapons), additional damage classes, be lighter (limiting
encumbrance and/or lowering STR minima), or have OCV bonuses.  Magical
weapons may have built-in weapon familiarities and may have advantages
like penetrating or armorpiercing.  Of course, weapons may also
contain spellstones, staves or wands to achieve exceptional magic
effects.

 Exceptional/magical armor: Exceptional armor may have higher DEF,
lack of weakness, be hardened, or be lighter than normal.  Magical
armor may be completely weightless, generally protects against NND
spells, can bestow knockback resistance or damage reduction.  Of
course, armor may also contain spellstones, staves or wands to achieve
exceptional magic effects.

 Exceptional/magical shields: Exceptional shields may be lighter than
normal or have higher DEF and/or lack of weakness(to prevent
breakage).  Magical shields may have higher DCV and can bestow
knockback resistance or damage reduction.  Of course, armor may also
contain spellstones, staves or wands to achieve exceptional magic
effects.

 Drugs/potions/chemicals: Normal drugs of many different varieties
exist, some of which are extremely beneficial (increase healing rate,
stabilize dying characters, poison antidotes, increase vitality
(END/STUN), sharpen perceptions, and so forth) and some of which are
not (hallucinogens, poisons, paralytics, narcotics, and so forth).
Some are addictive (Side effect: dependancy), or have mood-altering
effects (side effect: psychlim, enraged, or berserk), or other
unpleasant side-effects.  These drugs generally have gradual effects
that last for significant periods of time.
  Magical potions of different varieties exist as well (also oils,
philtres and similar products).  These are herbal "devices" designed
to craft magical effects, even physically impossible ones, within or
upon a living creature -- fiery breath, invisibility, extra defenses,
flight, the ability to speak different languages, and a host of other
spell-like powers are possible.
  Acids, explosives, corrosives, adhesives, preservatives and other
classes of chemicals exist as well, some magical and some natural.

  Spellbooks:  Although often enchanted, these are simply texts with
descriptions of spells or general treatises on magic, from which
characters can learn spells or gain general skill levels with spells.
