Post ideas for epic-level magical items. Things comparable to the One Ring.
>A key that can unlock any door. In addition to unlocking any door it can cause any door to lead to a new location, effectively giving you instant teleportation and the ability to make permanent portals.
>A book that contains every piece or information that was or is written down, even if it was destroyed thousands of years ago. It also translates said information into your language of choice. The book always knows what piece of information you desire.
>A golden throne that brings prosperity to whichever nation posesses it. Better harvests, no plagues, etc.
>A horn that summons a ghostly army to obey the posessor of the horn.
>A ring that makes the wearer an expert in all mundane skills, from sword-fighting to surfing to origami.
The key reminds me of The Lost Room. Incidentally, that series, along with SCP and Warehouse 13, is a great source of wacky magical item ideas.
Foldable Spelljammer
One I saw posted which is more of a cursed item rather than a desirable one was a necklace that continuously spawned an exponential number of crows. They'd protect the wearer, but were also ravenous, so it quickly becomes an issue where you've got an entire flock of birds following you around and trying to kill anything that gets close.
A notebook, if you write a description of something in it that thing will be utterly removed from reality including retroactive removal from the past. The only evidence that will remain is the entry in the unmaking book.
Have a care what you remove because this thing can totally Grandfather paradox you out of existence
Does that include people's memories of that thing? Because that feels like it'd get weird rather fast. Especially when the characters find a book full of names, events, and objects that don't exist, and writing anything else in the book turns into similar gibberish.
Everything. And it's meant to get full butterfly effect weird. For example; you wrote a description of your nemesis into the book and suddenly you're a farmer in your hometown with no memory of being an adventurer as you never had the motivation of having your home burned down and the entire kingdoms history is different. And the only clue that something weird is going on is the strange book you're holding for no discernable reason full of descriptions of apparently imaginary people places and things written in many different handwritings.
Alternatively, you could simple delet object, and cast a mass-memory spell on everyone to forget it. Avoids the butterfly effect, but otherwise still has the same outcome.
write the book itself in the book and hurl it at the BBEG and see what paradoxical shit happens to them when it smacks them
What book, anon?
So, a Super Death Note?
I know people that would write their name into this book as a means of claiming it is theirs.
unfortunately role playing does not weed out absolute morons.
>a model house you sit on the ground, you can then approach it and scale down to walk right inside, inside it's a full size house you can store stuff in, and rest in. it floats.
>a gemstone that manifests a golem under your command out of the material you jam it into.
>a set of big feathery wings you can equip and flap and fly independently of your arms. they fold up out of the way, and are comfortable to sleep on.
A simple stone handaxe, it's indestructible and can harm literally anything physical
>comparable to the One Ring
>neither of the listed items have drawbacks
You broke your own rules, OP. Good job.
The One Ring doesn't really have a drawback for Sauron though. I guess you could count "if he loses it he's fricked" but that goes for any useful tool or weapon. That goes for condoms.
Oh, no drawbacks for Sauron?
I guess that means it didn't have any drawbacks, then.
Point refuted with airtight reasoning.
There's nothing anywhere in the stories or movies to suggest that anyone experienced drawbacks from the Ring.
You are one of the biggest fricking gays on this site rn
So, tell us how OP didn't break his own rules, and tell us how nobody who had the Ring ever had anything bad happen to them as a direct consequence of using it or even being near it.
A key that can unlock anything. This is not limited to actual physical concepts and can be entirely metaphorical such as unlocking someone's weaknesses, unlocking a person's heart, unlocking a mountain to cause a landslide, unlocking space itself to cross planes, etc. Its only downside is increasing vulnerability of the user, such as armor becoming weaker over time despite not displaying any visible changes, their spirit/mind becoming more vulnerable to influence and attack, and further weakness to the elements and eventually death as their immune system fails.
A lock that can lock anything, pretty much the opposite of the key however in this case the user slowly loses emotions, their ability to smell, touch, and vision. Prolonged use leads to the user's body parts becoming marble and eventually death.
There’s a Neil Gayman novel about that door idea. Don’t remember if it had to do with keys though.
