  • A magic item is any object that has magical powers inherent in it. These may act on their own or be the tools of the person or being whose hands they fall into. Magic items are commonly found in both folklore and modern fantasy. Their fictional appearance is as old as the Iliad in which Aphrodite's magical girdle is used by Hera as a love charm. Magic items often act as a plot device to grant magical abilities. They may give magical abilities to a person lacking in them, or enhance the power of a wizard. For instance, in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, the magical ring allows Bilbo Baggins to be instrumental in the quest, exceeding the abilities of the dwarves. Magic items are often, also, used as MacGuffins. The characters in a story must collect an arbitrary number of magical items, and when they have the full set, the magic is sufficient to resolve the plot. In video games, these types of items are usually collected in fetch quests. (en)
  • Un oggetto magico è un qualsiasi oggetto dotato di poteri magici. Essi possono agire autonomamente oppure essere strumenti nelle mani di persone o creature che ne vengono in possesso. Gli oggetti magici si trovano comunemente nel folklore e nel fantasy moderno. Gli oggetti magici spesso hanno la funzione di escamotage narrativo per concedere abilità magiche. Possono dare capacità magiche a una persona che non ne ha, o accrescere il potere di un mago. Ad esempio, ne Lo Hobbit di J. R. R. Tolkien, l'anello magico permette a Bilbo Baggins di essere in qualche modo utile nel viaggio di ricerca, pur non avendo per natura doti particolari da guerriero o stregone, aggiungendosi ai più abili nani.
