First of all, let me say this: CS 110th players stop reading now!!!! I mean it, you'll spoil the surprise for yourselves later. OK I warned you...

OK, I currently have my group of players (all CS troops) hunting around North America, and the rest of the world for various magic items. Each one of these items is being sought by the Federation of Magic, with the ultimate goal of constructing a giant rift machine and bringing an alien intelligence physically to rifts earth.
I have created some magic items and artifacts myself, but I would like some more. So the question is: What magic items have you created, and where would they be located on Rifts Earth?

Leviathan: greatest holy weapon
From somewhere out of the distant past this sword was predicted to come to Rifts earth to slay the monster of the sea. But for all intensive purposes the prophecy is unknown by the world at large. This sword was made by 'the unknown God' to slay the lord of the deep where-ever it would run. The sword looks like any other long sword till it is used to fight off a evil supernatural monster. Then is starts to glow and sear the flesh of the monster, rendering the monster lame. If the Evil Supernatural monster does not flee then the sword can kill it for all time. The sword gets it's name from its ability to slay the monsters of the seas with great and powerful strokes, dealing three fold the damage to them. Shortening the term leviathan slayer to just Leviathan. While these powers are great, they are not what is what makes this sword special, even from other Holy weapons. This sword was specifically made to slay the evil Alien Intelligence called 'The Load of the Deep'. No matter where the lord of the deep goes, this sword will find it's way to a hero who stands in the way of the lord of the deep. Whether it be lost at sea, underground, or the boundlessness of space, it will find it's hero to fight its foe. And the sword is hidden from the lord of the deep till the hero comes to the lord of the deep's main body with intentions to slay it. It is then that the sword's final, hidden, power activates, tearing the lord of the deep asunder with each stroke. And on the 7th stroke that hits, it flys from the hero's hand and into the body of the lord of the deep, seeking its core of being to slay it once and for all.
When found this weapon has form is a human sized long sword, but will resize and reshape itself to make itself usable to the hero. It has a gilded blade, with what appears to be a serpent wound about the tang to form the hilt.
Damage: 1d6x10 vs SN evil, Triple damage to sea monsters, damage x10 when used against The Lord of the Deep. For all others it does 2d6 damage. Powers: Breath w/o Air (Constant), Sonar Sight (1 mi.)

All are works in progress but I have an active mind as a TW 1- Mystic Portal Shield: shield enchanted with targeted deflection, speed weapon, and mystic portal for those pesky things like annihilate that can't be parried 2- TW Hydra: Multi-barrel TW rifle combining goblin grenade launcher, sonic rifle, pb cannon, and tw chainsaw bayonet (think Gears of War Lancer plus) 3- TW Basilisk: TW rifle firing a petrification beam (spell I am researching) 4- TW four leaf clover: casts Beat Insurmountable Odds as an action to save your butt when you really need it

Nice! This one will probably be making an appearance in my Rifts game at some point.
Keep up the excellent work everyone, and keep those magic items coming!
Parity: set of paired golden bracers, meant to provide "parity" for psychics against ranged weapons. I don't remember the exact combination...something like Speed Weapon, Chromatic Protection, Targeted Deflection and a temporal spell. Nullifies those nasty penalties for parrying gunfire and lets someone walk out into the open and completely decimate a CS patrol that opens fire.
Wings of Nocturnal: an ancient weapon steeped in mystery and shrouded in uncertainty. It's a double-headed runic battle axe, black, which does devastating damage and grants power over shadow, but gradually corrupts the soul of the user.

This sounds like the time travel method in the Trancers movies. except they had to use the body of their ancestors to possess.

All three would be considered B rated (i.e.: a bit cheesy, with more cheese with each sequel) movies.

I've always wanted to make a Demi-god Techno Wizard with the powers of a necromancer. The possible combinations of techno-wizardry and necromancy are virtually limitless.
Comment: Lazlo and its supporters talk of Dbee rights. Can you even comprehend the plight of the untold billions of humans evicted from thier homes since their coming? What of their rights?
I hav a few most notably the Asgadrian Dwarves who are on par wth godlings in my game so they live for 50k years select their greatest warriors who are about to die of old age or other forseeable death and scuplt a rune warrior identical to the dwarven warrior in his prime strenghth 50 25 PP all other atrributes are the same as before accept for PE which is not applicable as a greaest rune statue they are indestrubtiable by conventional means.
I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind...For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

more like a rune staute and a transferred intelligence which i suppose by definetion all rune stautes are except these are fully autonomous
other one I have is a gift a charecter recieved from the dark milenia tree which also can be created as a corrupt millenia tree item club of agony it is considered a millenia tree staff it looks like a pitch black burnt bat in the shape of a human femur it does 6d6 mdc and everytime it hits the subject is affectd by the agony spell unless he saves (those in power armor and robots are immune) 6 times a day it can cast a 100 foot radius globe of darkness and silence which is centered and moves around the club effects are idenitical to the spells except the wielder of the club can see and hear

I have created a whole host of items through out my time in the hobby. On another thread in the PF forum I posted a few (all centered around slavery and slave trading).
DM is correct by the way. - Ninjabunny It's a shoddy carpenter who blames his tools. - Killer Cyborg Every group has one problem player. If you cannot spot the one in your group; look in the mirror. It is not a good session until at least one player looks you in the eye and says "you sick twisted evil ****"
I play Dead Reign a lot lately, and I know its non magical world but I couldn't help but wonder what little gizmo's an intreped Tech Wizard might arm himself with to survive the Apocalypse
TW Anti-Zombie Firearm Just brainstorming here and haven't gont thru the creation process according to the rules, so bear with me. Spells: Magic Net, Energy Bolt, Fire Ball, Fuel Flame, and Globe of Silence The idea is that when struck, the Z will become wrapped up (immobilized) in a magical net of fire and burned until destroyed or the spell elapses. The Globe of Silence is to counter the pesky moan. Probably build it into the body of an arquebus style weapon for the right "look" hehe. Obviously, the weapon works well on any SDC critter who is hurt by fire, but stopping zombies was my original intent.
Thoughts?
Be at peace, my people. All shall be looked up.

Also started by that hair brained Alchemist, though a different vein of magic items to be sure.
Getting a mage to tell you where the hydra is...10,000 gold Hiring a summoner... 40,000 gold Hiring one hundred 10th level mercenaries... 98,567 gold Giving a hydra skull to your necromancer... priceless
I have a couple magic Items that I intended for use together, but could be used separately -the first is a cloak, enchanted with a permanent and more powerful version of invincibility, (e.q. to 3 of the normal spells), also with fly, shadow meld, and mystic portal that can be called up at a limit of 3 times apiece per day in addition to a permanent super spd and str spell, and a single inside D-pocket (it was actually made for an Npc) -its companion was a scythe, with frost blade, encorcel, and power weapon, any of which could be called on at any time with the exception that the spells only last 1 min apiece and only cost 2 ppe drawn from a 60 ppe battery in the staff itself (the Npc for which it was made has no ppe of its own) with the damage of the spells being cumulative.
These are various items I made for a thief, Tiphyo, that would plague my party should they get to cocky,
Tiphyo's Blue Line Boots, these boots allow the wearer to use Time Slip every other round without use of any other components, holds enough of a charge for 3 uses after that the user must pay the P.P.E. to use them.When on a ley line the boots may be activated once per round without paying the cost, and they automatically regain one charge for every full round spend on a lay line without using the Time Slip, note using the boots on a ley line do not use any of the charges.
Socks of swiftness, Gives superhuman speed for two minutes, recharges after one full minute on a ley line, and may be used continuously on a ley line.
Face, this 'Guy Fawkes' mask grants the use of Metamorphosis: Human for up to 1 hour, this item DOES NOT recharge on its own, after the hour is up the wearer has 30 seconds to recharge it manually or the mask will turn to water leaving no evidence.
Winged Cape, this cape which when not in use has a split up the center, but on activation it transforms into a pair of feathery blue energy wings for 1 hour, the cape recharges after an hour on a ley line. May be used continuously on a ley line.
I am making a tw snorckle mask the breather has a toony monster mouth and it has two snockle tube going to the sides it has eirth a rbeath underwater spell of breath without air i am stil deciding it will also have the dolphin sonic blast and a metamorphisis into a sea snake.

Here are some very minor items. I was running a Nightbane campaign at one time. As a quick combat encounter, I placed some Nightlord Cultists in hideout in a bayou. I didn't know ahead of time which PCs would be at the game that night, so I made the cultists as low level basic human NPCs and also had some magic weapons on the side that could be given to the cultists and boost the challenge a little. Each cultist had a different knife which was enchanted with the Talisman spell and one additional spell. I remember including Blinding Flash and Superhuman Speed in the mix. These were single-use enchantments cast upon the knife holder which would give the holder a minor edge in a fight. They would be recharged when the Night Priest would lead the cult ina ceramony to communicate with their Nightlord patron. If the knives fell into enemy hands, the Nightlord simply would no re-enchant them.

Here are some magic weapons I've come up with and used as either a player or GM.
Necro-spear: A wicked looking lance with a barbed tip that is as dark as night and imbued with several necromancer spells. This weapon is a favorite of Mystic Nights because it adds to the aura of one being a ‘Death Knight.’ Damage: 3d6 MDC Imbued spells: Hyper Accelerated Decay: Beings killed by this weapon begin to decay at such a rate that (just like that Nazi traitor dude in Indian Jones and the Last Crusade) they become dust and bones in less then one melee round. Necro-Armor: When held (not worn) the wielder of the weapon is imbued with the Necro-armor spell (@ 5th level) and grants him/her with an additional 65 MDC that can be activated 3 times per day. Stench of the Dead: When held (not worn) the weapon emits a mist of rotting meat and decay similar to that of the ‘Stench of the Dead’ spell. The envelopes the user and twenty feet around him or her.
Fire Ball Dagger (1 handed) Damage: 2d4 MDC When held (not worn, it must be in your hand) the blade glows bright red. The dagger can shoot bolt of fire with a mere thought of the user. Fire ball Range: 90 feet. Damage: 4d6 MDC (6th level fireball spell)
Multiple Ball and Chain (1 handed) Damage: 3d6 MDC When held (not worn, it must be in your hand) the Ball and chain imbues the user with the multiple image spell.
The Ithan Claymore (2 handed) Damage: 4d6 MDC When held (not worn, it must be in your hand) the sword imbues the user with the Armor of Ithan spell, and they have 50 MDC (5th level Armor of Ithan spell). Note: Some swords are imbued a higher level of the spell and hence grant them with more MDC.
Time Warp Dagger (1 handed) Damage: 2d4 MDC When held (not worn, it must be in your hand) the dagger imbues the user with power similar to the Time Warp: Slow Motion spell. The user moves faster then those around him, and is +1 to strike, +3 to parry and dodge, +4 on initiative, +10 to speed, and has + 1 attacks/actions per melee.
Morning star of Blue Flame (1 handed) Damage: 3d6 MDC When held (not worn, it must be in your hand) the Morning star imbues the user with the Eyes of blue flame spell. To others the user’s eyes appear to be made of blue fire. The user can see 400 feet in total darkness; can see all spectrums of light, and heat to include seeing the invisible, also grants a +3 save vs illusions.
Globe of Silence Staff Damage: 3d6 MDC When held (not worn) this staff imbues (or curses depending on how you look at it) the user with the Globe Silence spell. The spell encompass a 20 foot area around the weapon, thus preventing those very close to the user of this weapon unable to cast a spell.
Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem". Ronald Reagan, President of the United States; 1985
While it was only a stripped down Battle Fury Blade, the Durendal caused some havoc amongst the players. The Psi-Ghost learned about charging a Mystic Knight wielding a big, magic sword.
Then there's Jeff Chandler's alchemist made flaming sword. Aliza Baker, Mind Melter and woman of ill repute extrodinare acquired it for him, just don't ask how. Thus far, he has not named the blade and used it sparingly, but when he has, it's proven most effective.
But I tend to make swords and the like all different, except the simple ones such as TW Light Blades and TW Flaming Blades, and even they will vary in the same manner as light sabers.
