Let's have a thread about magic items based on our own experiences.

There exists a set of unique blend of coffee containing exactly precise amounts of bean, water, cream, and flavors. Striking upon this blend endows the user with good luck for the rest of the day. One of these blends is used in an otherwise ordinary vending machine, found in the local library.

-a neverending cup of yogurt, that looks like a generic disposable cup of yogurt. Any time the lid is peeled back, the cup is full of freshly made yogurt. Alternately, use this effect on a TV dinner.

-a mobile phone that allows contact with extraplanar entities. Translation costs extra. Expect variable roaming charges based on proximity to ley lines, alignment of the cosmos, etc.

-A stuffed toy that when hugged, causes the hugger to drift off into a magical sleep.

-A screwdriver that reconfigures itself to fit any size of screw.

-A human tooth, normal in every way save for a tiny rune etched into it. When placed under a pillow, the tooth will disappear (presumably seeking out a new owner), leaving behind a solid gold coin appropriate to an era d100 years ago.

-A tiny disk, about the size of a CD, that is made of a strange metal, almost golden. The disk will change in size and density in order to conform to whatever player it is inserted in - it can become as large as a phonograph record, square as a cassette tape, or into a tiny diskette. Data burned to the disc will be readable in some way by the player it is inserted into. (if a movie is burned to a disc and it is turned into a phonograph record, it will play the sound from the movie but nothing else.)

-A rubix cube that is seemingly insolvable. Even disassembling the cube and attempting to put it into the solved configuration will fail.

-An ice try that instantly freezes water or other liquids placed in it.

-A bottle of perfume that, when applied, charms all who smell it.

-A set of animated dentures. Or animated items in general.

-A pair of vorpal scissors.

-A crudely painted paper bag Halloween mask. When donned, it exudes an aura of terror.

should read "ice tray".

-a pair of glasses that improve vision to 30/20.

-A set of keys that will fit any lock.

-A lotion that temporarily grants the user the power to alter skin colour and appearance

-A pen that, upon speaking a command word, extends into a four foot long sword.

-A shaving razor that is unable to slice flesh, but will cut any other object easily.

-A bottle of mouthwash with a label translated into 1d4 languages. When used to rinse out one's mouth, gives the user the temporary ability to speak and understand the languages printed on the label (but not read).

-A seemingly useless farmer's weather station. It is little, weathered, very old wooden plate with a donkey painted on it. The donkey has a tail, made of straw, dangling down the plate.
Written on the plate is the following in German:
"The donkey knows the weather!
-Tail Dry: Nice Weather
-Tail Wet: Rain
-Tail White: Snow
-Tail Fluttering: Wind
-Tail Flying Away: Storm
-Tail Cannot Be Seen: Fog
-Tail Shaking: Earthquake"

"Der Esel kennt das Wetter!
-Schwanz Trocken: Schönes Wetter
-Schwanz Nass: Regen
-Schwanz Weiß: Schnee

Quoted By:

- A normal looking bronze hand bell, that seems slightly darkened with a few unusual runes on it. When rung, a powerful demon appears, to open a jar. This is the only thing that the demon is capable of doing, opening one jar. After the jar is closed the demon leaves at the moment the jar is closed.

Quoted By:

- An ornate bottle of mysterious brown liquid that when held grants a bonus to charisma. Imbibing the liquid doesn't reduce charisma, but does effect dexterity and intelligence markedly. Once the bottle is empty the effects on charisma are lost.

- A pair of gems that are optically linked, meaning that whatever can be seen in one is what's seen in the other and vice versa.

- A powder that makes any food palpable, but has horrendous effects on the consumer's health.

- A charm that when hung around the neck makes the wearer swear they are protected from magic. The amulet actually does absolutely nothing, but was quite expensive.

That is appearing in my next session. Thank you.

There is a teapot shaped like a genie's lamp which keeps its contents warm much longer than one could reasonably expect.

A small pink disc which, when chewed, grants immunity to ingested poisons.

A sheet of glass which, when exposed to the outdoor air, displays a map of the surrounding area and shows precisely where it is.

A hollow chunk of rubber which adheres to all surfaces, but only weakly. Activated by rubbing against the head.

Oh geez... I spent an entire summer as a child trying to solve such a cube. Someone had been peeling the stickers off and put them back on incorrectly. I swore very loudly when I figured it out.

Quoted By:

- An ornate piece of wood that has 3 golden pins on the side of it, one of which is raised. Pressing the raised button causes a razor sharp blade to magically appear on one end of the stick. Pressing it again causes the blade to vanish.

- A hooded robe made out of a mysterious and smooth material. When worn provides no heating properties, but seems to negate the effects of all wind magic.

- A pocket sized stone tablet that can be handed to any vendor in exchange for goods. The coolest part is that they hand it back to you with a smile on their face!

- A hand sized telescope that doesn't actually magnify anything, but does allow the user to see the latent magical energy floating about the world, which is EVERYWHERE! The effect is lessened at night, but allows for normal humans to navigate the dark easily.

Quoted By:

-An old, battered wooden yo-yo. When spun three times and then rolled on the ground, quickly rolls to the nearest 'Secret Fort' or another child's hiding spot.

-A rather severely bent large iron key that seems to fit in any normal door lock, it has a one in three chance of actually unlocking the door. A short, balding man always seems to follow the holder of the key, always glimpsed from the corner of your eye.

-An dog eared and tattered dime store romance novel named The Intense. It causes the person carrying the book to experience exaggerated emotional levels.

-An old brown glass medicine bottle with cork stopper, the label has long since worn away. There are large brown pills inside with an hourglass stamped onto each one. Eating one instantly gives the imbiber's body the effect of 12 hours of sleep but the mind gains none of these effects. The user must continue to take a pill once every 24 hours or fall into a coma lasting lasting 10 days for each day they have gone without sleep. There are 31 pills in the bottle, and the pills are refilled every 30 days.

Quoted By:

A single sheet of paper, slightly ragged at the edges, that has a few sentences written on one side. Flipping the paper to the right will reveal the other side as being blank, flipping it to the left will reveal a previous page. It's believed that the piece of paper has been in existence for hundreds of years and has been written in by countless individuals, several of whom were quite insane. Previous owners have copied whole books or wrote journals in it, or simply kept a plethorah of random notes in it. Once you have written on the page, it is impossible to lose without either transferring ownership to another person or dying. Simply discarding it or forgetting it will cause it to reappear on one's person.

Quoted By:

-A small ornate pocketwatch. If one thinks about measuring time in a particular way or place and flips open the lid, the hands will display whatever measure is appropriate.

For example, one could think about what time it is on the other side of the planet, and the pocketwatch would display it. Alternately, one could try and think of the current date, and the numbers and hand position on the watch would show the current date. Other more exotic measures might include the lunar phase, position of the constellations, and so forth.
