Not all magical items are weapons or armor. The list below is of a few items that might prove useful to a clever adventurer. Some may make excellent flavor items for particularly interesting NPCs.
Forgemaster’s Hammer – This hammer is ensorcelled by an ancient dwarven forgemaster. Its weighty iron head is engraved with seven runes of power, and its hilt is wrapped in dragonhide leather carved from the corpse of an adult red dragon. Generally such hammers are not sold or traded. A forgemaster will pass this hammer down to his first-born son when he dies or becomes too old to smith any longer. The hammer grants the wielder the ability to shape any metal as if it were the most malleable copper. If used as a weapon against a foe in nonmagical metal armor, any successful hit will permanently reduce (or increase, if using descending AC) the AC of that armor by 1. If this penalty would negate the armor’s AC bonus, the armor is destroyed. The hammer’s true purpose, though, is in the forging of masterworks of metalcraft. Legendary swords have been forged with this hammer, and its value for historical reasons may outweigh its value as a magical item.
Saw of Severing – One of many like it, this hand saw was enchanted to allow it to cut through anything without dulling. It has two magical properties; one, it can cut through any nonmagical solid inanimate material at a rate of 1 foot in thickness every round. Two, the blade of this saw will never dull.
Box of Endless Nails – This box is invaluable to any carpenter. It appears as a simple oak box one foot long, one foot wide, and six inches deep. A latch made of iron holds the box shut. On the underside of the box is a symbol of three crossed hammers burnt into one corner. If a person opens the box, he will find a dozen nails of the exact size, thickness, and material that he needs for the job at hand. No matter how many he removes from the box, if he closes and latches the box, then opens it again, there will be twelve new nails exactly as before.
Spade of Well-Digging – This small iron spade has a mahogany handle. Carved into the handle is a shallow impression of a farmer digging a well. If a person spends five rounds digging a hole with this spade, the hole will expand to a circle four feet in diameter and ten feet deep. The hole will instantly fill with clean, drinkable water. If the ground that the hole was initially dug in is not large enough to accommodate the well (say, if the wielder was digging on the lip of a cliff), the hole will enlarge but it will not fill with water. After one day, the well vanishes, leaving the terrain as it was before the ground was disturbed by the spade.
