Pages 25-26
Curse:
the scroll curses listed here are pretty harsh. Especially
considering there is nothing to set a cursed scroll and regular
scroll apart at first glance. Even more so when one factors in many
neophyte referees used this table for all curses in the game.
Ring
of Many Wishes: up to 24 wishes? For careful
players this is a boon, for rash players this could be a world
breaking item.
Staves
of Power and Wizardry: these are useful items granting in-game
MUs many of the powers typically associated with Wizards in lore.
The Staff of Wizardry introduces a new spell into the D&D
milieu: web. Web would be formalized as a spell in Supplement
I: Greyhawk.
Staves
of Healing and Snake: apparently drawn from the Bible’s Old
Testament.
Miscellaneous
Magic: lists items drawn from lore and fantasy literature such
as the crystal ball, elven cloaks, 7-league boots, flying brooms, and
so on. A really good list serving to spur the imagination of a new
referee.
Maps:
these refer back to the “Maps” table near the top of page 23.
These two tables, as well as the “Magic & Treasure” table
appearing at the top of page 26, might have been served better being
placed a bit closer to the one on page 23. It was seem to us, at
least, the information would flow together more smoothly with this
minor change.
