Template:Magic item/doc

{{Magic item}} is for use in any article about a magic item or artefact 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.

Parameters

The initial word should usually be capitalized for each parameter.

name (optional): The italicized name of the magic item. Pretty straightforward.

Magical

cl (optional/1e): The caster level of the magic item as listed.
level (optional/2e): The level of the item as listed.

usage (optional/2e): The usage of the item as listed.
origin (optional): The geographical location in Golarion with which the item is associated, for example: Osirion.
affiliation (optional): The deity, item creator, or organization with which the item is associated, for example: Desna.

source & page (optional): The source wherein the item was first mentioned, or from which the most information is available. Link the title, and include page number if possible. Use this only if you have a source and page for either 1E or 2E, but not both.
