<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Magic items''' are items that can be activated to cast spells. Common types of magic items include [[wand]]s, [[potion]]s, and [[scroll]]s.<br />
<br />
[[Magic Item Use]] (MIU) is the primary skill required for these items (except scrolls), which determines how easily they can be activated and how effective each activation will be. [[Arcane Symbols]] (AS) is the skill used for scrolls.<br />
<br />
== Using Magic Items ==<br />
{{main|Magic Item Use}}<br />
Magic items may respond to one of the following verbs: {{mono|[[TAP]]}}, {{mono|[[RUB]]}}, {{mono|[[WAVE]]}}, {{mono|[[RAISE]]}}, {{mono|[[EAT]]}}, {{mono|[[DRINK]]}}, {{mono|[[INVOKE]]}}.<br />
<br />
The {{mono|TAP}}, {{mono|RUB}}, {{mono|WAVE}}, and {{mono|RAISE}} commands all require [[Magic Item Use]] skill in order to activate the magic item. {{mono|TAP}} requires the fewest ranks, followed by (equally) {{mono|RUB}} and {{mono|WAVE}}, while {{mono|RAISE}} requires the most ranks.<br />
<br />
{{mono|EAT}} and {{mono|DRINK}} do not require a skill check.<br />
<br />
The {{mono|INVOKE}} command is used for [[scroll]]s (and special items that behave like scrolls), requiring training in the [[Arcane Symbols]] skill.<br />
<br />
== Charges ==<br />
{{main|Charge (magic)}}<br />
Magic items have a limited number of times they can be activated, or '''charges''', before the magic is exhausted. Some items will [[crumbly|crumble]] into dust and be permanently destroyed when they are out of charges. Depending on the item, it may be possible for a [[wizard]] to add charges with [[Charge Item (517)]].<br />
<br />
Scrolls have their own special recharging system, available to [[sorcerer]]s with [[Scroll Infusion (714)]].<br />
<br />
== Imbedding Spells ==<br />
{{main|Magic Item Creation (420)}}<br />
Magic items can come in several states: already imbedded with a spell, blank and ready to be imbedded, or blank and requiring additional preparation.<br />
<br />
The common types of magic items found in the [[treasure system]] or purchased from [[:Category:Alchemist Shops|town alchemists]] are imbedded with known spells: for example, an [[iron wand]] found on a creature will always contain the spell [[Minor Shock]]. If an item is not one of the known common types, it may still be revealed to be magical through [[loresinging]] or other means.<br />
<br />

<br />
Blank items can have spells imbedded into them with the [[Magic Item Creation (420)]] spell. Certain items may need to be prepared with a [[grot t'kel potion]] before imbedding. [[Ranger]]s can create blank magic items with the [[Imbue (614)]] ability.<br />
<br />
Magic items can also be created by [[Holy Receptacle (325)]] or through the [[alchemy]] system.<br />
