{{Magic item}} is for use in any article about a magic item or artifact within the Pathfinder campaign setting. The parameters (except name) are optional. If left undefined they will not appear.

For mundane items, please use instead {{Item}}; for alchemical items, use {{Alchemical item}}; for technological items, use {{Technological item}}.

This template has been stripped down to include only those essential "crunchy" statistics, and those that are left enable reference against other magic items and easy sorting. All other crunchy details should be omitted.
