Theme: Magical Artefacts

Magical Artefacts are objects of power that can produce or are empowered by Magic. Magical Artefacts can be rings, swords, orbs, scrolls, staffs, lenses, crystals, scrolls, keys, lamps, books, knives, boxes, doorways, mirrors, flying carpets, coins, items of clothing (often ones that may have been worn by a Magician) or jewellery, and assorted others.

These can variously wield magic and power, open Portals, conduct transformations, offer wishes, extend one’s life, conjure entities, control minds, divine the future and many other purposes. Use of such objects can sometimes require arcane knowledge or solving puzzles. In some cases, the usage will affect a price on the user. Artefacts that have malevolent purpose are discussed under Cursed Objects.

Rarely is it ever depicted how such an artefact comes into being, they are usually items that are just discovered. Frequently they are hidden where Adventure Films often concern quests to discover their whereabouts, or else they can be unassuming items found in the everyday.

The most famous Magical Artefacts on screen might be King Arthur’s sword Excalibur, Aladdin’s lamp, Dorothy’s Red Slippers in The Wizard of Oz (1939), the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings and Thor’s hammer.
