     Been a while, but my page was down. Which I was thankfully able to fix. After all, what would you do without me? Anyways, this is the start of a series of five (at least for now) posts that I will be making, so at the end, We should be at 100 magic items. Let's begin, shall we?

1. Pen of Messaging: This pen, when used to write on a paper, will send a mental thought of the      message to another person. It reads exactly what is on the paper. (fun roleplaying if bad grammar is involved)

2. Shifter's Armor: Made with a series of buckles and straps, this armor, which can come in many varieties, comes undone, and falls off when the user shifts out of human form. (this item does not give off a magical aura)

4. Poisoner's Vial: Once per day, you can fill this ceramic vial with water, by the end of the day, the water will have turned into a single vial of potion.

5. Ring of Bad Judgement: when worn, this ring causes a -2 penalty to all wisdom based rolls. This is a cursed item. The player does not know about this effect.
