(TFT) TFT: Magical Ingredients

["Dave Seagraves" <dseagraves@austin.rr.com>]

   Last year I created this reference sheet for players and I to use when
making magic items:

   A few of the ingredients above are from magic items listed in Interplay
magazine, and (as usual) I've changed a few prices to aid in suspension of
disbelief (because most of the articles were obviously never playtested).
   (Egad . . .  How many man-days of toenails is a kilo of Elves' toenails?
Every Elf village must have a central collection center for them.)  8^)

   By the way, when my campaign's characters want to sell equipment or
magical ingredients in town (like a 14-hex dragon hide) they only get 1/4 of
the list price, /not/ the prices listed in the book!  This rule has held up
well under playtesting, and it's a good rule for solitaire play too.
