the game of terms

[marycatelli]

Ah the delights of fantasy terminology. . . .

Magical objects are important in this world. So important that they would have a name for them. But (curse D&D) I can't call them artifacts even if those who make them are artificers. Too much baggage.

I used "devices."

That is a possibility.

Others I think may involve some underscored semantic drift.
