Designing by Type

The following guidance applies to items of various types. Magic vs. Tech Magic items and tech items follow a similar price economy based on their level, but the effects of magic items like spell ampoules can be a bit broader and more directly magical than tech items like serums. A character can only wear a certain number of magic items, and they tend to be more expensive, so they can do things tech items can't, such as confer the benefits of spells, and aren't affected by the glitching condition. Hybrid items have both the magic and tech traits but require Magical Crafting to craft and are affected by abilities that target magic or tech items.
