are exceptions to every rule.
Complications. These rules for magic item

interest in your work. Do they
view you as a threat, or are they
impressed by your techniques? Do
they want to buy the item, and what
will happen if you refuse?

Religion plays an important role in Eberron.
While gods don’t physically manifest as they
