Creating Personal Items
The Nature of Personal Items
Personal items are Everway powers. You don't get a discount because the power is bound to an object. Bought items are treated as essential to your conception, though, and concomitantly endure. Like other Powers, items are rated on whether they are Frequent, Major or Versatile. Items can be bought as part of character creation or acquired as boons in play.
Where Items Come From
All items, whether bought or free, are either found or made. A character can seek a terrific sword in shadow, bug his dad into giving him one for Christmas or take it off the corpse of an enemy. (Or friend. Or innocent bystander.) Characters with the Pattern ability of Conjuration can simply make one. We are told Julian molded his fabulous horse Morgenstern out of shadows. Note that we are not told how long it took him. The more points your item is worth, the longer it will take you to conjure it or hellride to it. To conjure or hellride to an item as "everlasting" as a bought item requires lots of time and lots of effort.
