Supporting Rules

All magic items listed must be worth 15000 gold or less. This table represents items find by looking in an arbitrary location, and is primarily meant to give some idea of the sorts of items that Wish Economy characters would inject into the rest of the economy over the course of a thousand years. Obviously, people who've acquired items are likely to trade them for items more fitting to their occupation, so if you want to use this chart for them, roll extra times and pick the most appropriate one(s). The Additional Bonuses column suggests the sort of bonuses the wisher might have placed on the item to get it closer to the 15000 gold mark, and is not meant to be the only possibility. Ignore the Additional Bonuses column if you don't allow wishing for customized items.
