====== Create Magic Items ======

Magic items come in two varieties. The first are [[magic_device|Magical Devices]], which can be used by anyone as the power to work their magic is placed within the device. The second are [[magic_focus|Magical Foci]], which can only be used by a magician to whom it is attuned. The final category are [[artifact|Artifacts]], which are devices which are not limited by a number of charges.


====== Data Block ======

^ Item  ^  Materials  ^  Charges  ^  Max Spell MR  ^  Max Spells  ^
| Simple Device  |  4  |  ML x 4  |  4  |  1  |
| Lesser Device  |  8  |  ML x 8  |  7  |  Total MR < 14  |
| Greater Device  |  16  |  ML x 16  |  unlimited  |  Total MR < (21 x ML)  |
| Simple Artifact  |  16  |  n/a  |  4  |  1  |
| Lesser Artifact  |  20  |  n/a  |  7  |  Total MR < 14  |
| Great Artifact  |  28  |  n/a  |  unlimited  |  Total MR < (21 x ML)  |
| Simple Focus  |  26  |  ML x 3  |  n/a  |  n/a  |
| Lesser Focus  |  30  |  ML x 7  |  n/a  |  n/a  |
| Greater Focus  |  38  |  ML x 13  |  n/a  |  n/a  |

====== Steps ======

  - All materials must be fully assembled and enchanted to MR0.
  - The materials are assembled into the item. This can only be accomplished by a Master Craftsman (50%+ PSF). A failure to craft the item has a **100 - (CritDie x 10)%** chance of destroying one of the materials. A Critical Failure will destroy all of the items.
  - If a crafting a Device the magician empowers the item with the spells it will contain. This takes **7/ML * Spell MR hours** to accomplish. They can spend no more than 10 hours per day on this task.
  - Magician rolls against their craft and compares it to the Results table below.


====== Results ======

^ Result  ^  CritDie  ^ Effects  ^
| Success  |  > 9     | Success plus ML * 2 additional charges  |
| Success  |  8 - 9   | Success with 2 additional charges  |
| Success  |  1 - 7   | Success  |
| Failure  |  4 - 10  | Successful empowerment but only **1/2 of the charges**  |
| Failure  |  2 - 3   | Failed empowerment requires magician to repeat step to empower  |
| Failure  |  < 2     | Object destroyed  |


====== Recharge ======

Any device that contains charges can be re-empowered simply by doing the final two steps of the item's creation. This involves the magician to have full knowledge of the spell in question (MR0). If a device is ever reduced to 0 charges it is destroyed.
