The wearer is able to travel without tiring and leap great distances.

Clarity: The clarity of the vision is dependent on the scryer’s familiarity with the subject.
Usage frequency: A crystal ball may be used at most 3 times a day.
Casting spells: It is not possible to cast spells through a crystal ball into the viewed scene.

The scryer can hear, as well as see, the desired scene.

Melee attacks: Against the wearer are penalised by –2.

Large war drums that induce panic in those who hear their sound.
Range: Creatures up to 240′ away are affected when the drums are played. Those within 10′ of the drums are not affected.
Affected creatures: Are afflicted by the drums’ enchantment of fear: they must save versus spells or make a morale check with a –2 penalty (if the optional morale rules are being used—see Morale).
Effects: Creatures that fail the saving throw or morale check flee from the sound of the drums at full running speed for 30 rounds.

A 3′ tall, weighty jug with a sealed stopper. Breaking the seal and removing the stopper releases a trapped lesser efreeti, who will serve the character.

Ritual items enchanted with the power to summon beings from the elemental planes. Each elemental plane has a different type of device:
Air: A censer.
Earth: A 6″ diameter stone.
Fire: A brazier.
Water: A 3′ diameter bowl.
Usage: The items may be used as follows:

• Frequency: The summoning power may only be used once per day.
• Before use: The device must be prepared. This takes one turn.
• Activation: Once prepared, activating the device takes one round.
• Summoned elemental: A 12 HD elemental is conjured to do the summoner’s bidding.
• Command over the elemental: Concentration is required to command an elemental. If the character moves at more than half speed or their concentration is disturbed, the command over the elemental ends. It is, henceforth, a free-willed entity and will immediately try to kill the character and any who get in its way. While control over the elemental is maintained, the character may dismiss it at any time, sending it back to its plane of origin.

A set of enchanted boots and a matching cloak, of elven origin.
Stealth: The wearer of the boots is able to move silently.
Near Invisibility: The wearer of the cloak is rendered almost invisible: there is only a 1-in-6 chance of them being spotted.
Attacking: The cloak’s power of Invisibility is nullified for one turn, if the wearer attacks.

An enchanted carpet that can Fly through the air, carrying up to three passengers (and their gear). The movement rate depends on the number of passengers:

Melee attacks: 18 STR grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls, in melee.
Unarmed attacks: With 18 STR deal 1d2+3 damage.
Encumbrance: If using the optional rules for detailed encumbrance: the gauntlets also increase the character’s ability to carry weight by 1,000 coins. (i.e. the character can carry 1,400 coins without becoming encumbered.)

A character who wears this girdle gains the strength of a hill giant.
Combat ability: The wearer’s ability in combat is augmented: the character attacks with THAC0 12 [+7]. (If the character already has better attack probabilities, the girdle does not alter these.)
Damage: The wearer inflicts 2d8 damage in combat, or twice normal damage, if using the optional variable weapon damage rules (see Weapons and Armour).

A beautifully crafted but cursed helmet.
Putting on the helmet: Instantly causes the wearer’s alignment to change. The new alignment is determined at random.
Removing: The curse is such that the wearer cannot remove the helmet, once in place, and will resist attempts to remove it.
Dispelling: The curse can be removed by magic (e.g. Remove Curse), or (at the referee’s option) by performing a special Quest.

A fragile helmet that grants the wearer the ability to read writing of all kinds.
Normal text: Text in any language can be understood.
Magical text: Even magical writing is comprehensible. (This does not grant the ability to cast spells, however.)
Fragility: Each time the wearer is hit, there is a 1-in-10 chance of the helm being destroyed. If the wearer is killed, the helm is destroyed.

A beautifully crafted helmet that grants the magical ability of telepathy: reading and sending thoughts.
Range: The range of the power is 90′.
Concentration: To read a creature’s thoughts, the wearer must remain still and concentrate on that creature.
Comprehension: The creature’s thoughts are made comprehensible to the wearer of the helm.
Bidirectional communication: The wearer may initiate bidirectional, telepathic communication, though the creature is not compelled to respond.

A magical helm that gives an arcane spell caster the ability to cast the teleport spell.
Subject: The wearer may Teleport themselves, another creature, or an object.
Resisting: If used on another creature or object, a save versus spells is allowed to resist being teleported.
When first found: The helm’s power is usable only once.
Recharging: To be used again, a Teleport spell must be cast upon the helm.
Once recharged: The wearer may use the helm an unlimited number of times (at most once per round). If the helm is used on an unwilling subject, it once again loses its power and must be recharged, as above, to be used again.

A horn that can be blown to release a blast of destructive noise.
Creatures: Within a 100′ long cone (20′ wide at the end) suffer 2d6 damage.
Deafness: Affected creatures are also deafened for one turn (save versus spells to avoid).
Buildings: At the referee’s discretion, the horn may also be able to damage objects and buildings (e.g. a single blast might be enough to destroy a simple cottage; a 10′ section of castle wall might require three blasts).
Frequency: The horn may be used once per turn.

A medallion on a chain, enchanted with the power of reading thoughts.
Focus: By concentrating for 1 round, the wearer may target a creature within 30′.
Resisting: At the referee’s option, the target may save versus spells to resist.
Concentration: While reading thoughts, the wearer may move, but cannot cast spells or attack.
Misfires: The medallion is not entirely reliable. Per usage, there is a 1-in-6 chance of it misfiring, instead sending the wearer’s thoughts to all within 30′.

A medallion on a chain, enchanted with the power of reading thoughts. This works in the same way as the magic-user spell ESP.

Gazing into the mirror: Any creature of human size or smaller who gazes into the mirror is sucked inside (save versus spells to resist), with all its belongings.
Capacity: Up to 20 creatures can be trapped in the mirror. When this number is reached, it becomes safe to look into the mirror.
Inside the mirror: A creature will live indefinitely, without the need for air or sustenance, and unaffected by ageing.
Communication: Trapped creatures may converse with those outside, but are utterly powerless.
Breaking the mirror: Releases those trapped.

A coil of thin, strong rope, 50′ in length.
Commanding: The owner may command it to climb in any direction.

Protects the bearer from baleful magic.
Curses: Of all kinds are nullified.
