	Almost all magic items require you to be bonded to them to use them. Magicians can cast [[create bond]] to bond a character to an item, or an artisan can bond a character to any item that they know how to make. A bond lasts as long as the magic of an item endures, or until a magician breaks the bond using the [[create bond]] spell.		Almost all magic items require you to be bonded to them to use them. Magical items are indicated by a ribbon, stamped by Profound Decisions, that indicates that the item is visually unusual and has special abilities.

A bond lasts as long as the magic of an item endures, or until a magician breaks the bond using the [[create bond]] spell.
