Magic represents the race that utilizes it, especially magic imbued into items. Some magic items were crafted for a cultural purpose, but they mostly tend towards amplifying something a race was already known for, in addition to granting a certain aptitude for trait to other users.

Wondrous Items

Some of the wondrous items presented here are made with the heritage spells presented earlier in this chapter, and may be sources of racial pride for the races associated with those spells. Others were made so long ago—or invented by many races at roughly the same time—that debate rages over who originated the concept for the tool and how. All of these items are suitable for use by characters of any race.

Twice per day, the wearer of the backpack (or a creature within the tent) may produce a one-gallon jug of cool water or chilled tea from one of the backpack’s flaps, and three times per day they may produce a hearty meal of fruits and vegetables, suitable for feeding two creatures, in a similar fashion.
