Magic items are commonly found in both folklore and modern fantasy. Their fictional appearance is as old as the Iliad in which Aphrodite's magical girdle is used by Hera as a love charm. Magic items often act as a plot device to grant magical abilities. They may give magical abilities to a person lacking in them, or enhance the power of a wizard. For instance, in J.R.R. Tolkien's '' The Hobbit'', the magical ring allows Bilbo Baggins to be instrumental in the quest, exceeding the abilities of the dwarves. Magic items are often, also, used as MacGuffins.

In video games, these types of items are usually collected in fetch quests. Fairy tales Certain kinds of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
