Magic

52 magic items, and none of them labeled

Magic comes as touchstones, lanterns, potions, scrolls, wands and words. An untried find shows only its kind, so the party learns what it holds by using it, by paying a Living Statue to name it, or by buying it already named at a magic counter. A wizard in the party can sense what kind of work an untried find was made for, or that it will do harm.

Only a reader can use scrolls, wands and words: King, Hero and Wizard. This page shows what every item turns out to be. To play blind, switch Spoilers off in the top bar.
