Items
Introduction
See here for information on Item Generation, including the complex formula and what influences it
Lesser Items are a large part of a mage's daily activities and their effects can often have heavy influence on the outcome of certain situations, including battles. Lesser Items come in many different shapes and sizes: there are battle items and non-battle items, of which the latter includes summon items, resource-granting items, resource-siphoning items, and the list goes on. Unlike Unique Items, Lesser Items are, for the most part, very common, and are generated invariably as a mage consumes turns according to the percentage of Libraries that the mage has built in relation to their land size. Mages can hold an infinite quantity of Lesser Items, except for the two 'special' Lesser Items (Magical Compass and Minor Indulgence), which mages can only have three of at any one time.
Other than Item generation, there are several other actions that will produce Lesser Items for a mage, all of which have their own chances of producing Lesser Items:
- Purchasing Lesser Items from the Black Market, which are either sold by other mages or generated naturally by the server at a rate that differs from server to server
- As a reward from a pleased God
- Through the use of other Lesser Items such as Treasure Chests or Letters of the Thieves' Guild
- Through the pillaging of other mages
- Through the use of Spells like
Steal Artifact or 
Locate Artifact
Lesser Items have many different purposes, but the three primary methods that mages use to employ Lesser Items are the 'Use Item' function, and the 'Assignment' function, and during battles. Using the 'Use Item' function will do exactly that: it will consume whatever item is chosen outside of battle, and the effects (or lack thereof) will be experienced immediately, whether the target was the user, or an enemy mage. On the other hand, the 'Assignment' function sets a Lesser Item to be used during defensive battles (at the set parameter) in order to improve the chances of defending ones' land. Offensive battles, on the other hand, offer a mage the option of using a Lesser Item in order to either strengthen their army, weaken the enemy army, or both.
There are, as detailed above, several ways to generate/earn Lesser Items. There are also several ways to lose Lesser Items, of which the most common are being pillaged by an enemy mage, being the target of certain spells listed above, and obviously, using the Lesser Item, which will consume it (even if blocked by barriers). In addition, a mage always has the option to sell some or all of their Lesser Item hoard in the Black Market, trading their items for a varied amount of geld.
