	*'''Power Scroll:''' According to the FAQ it now halves the casting value of an un-boosted spell. Might be good, as it allows a lvl 4 wizard to somewhat reliably cast Occams or Dwellers with two dice.		*'''Power Scroll:''' According to the FAQ it now halves the casting value of an un-boosted spell.

	*'''Wand of Jet:''' 35pts for, basically, an additional power dice. Must be used ''after'' casting, so can improve a failed attempt, but still too expensive. Skip it.		*'''Wand of Jet:''' 35pts for, basically, an additional power dice. Must be used ''after'' casting, so can improve a failed attempt, but still too expensive. Skip it.
	*'''Forbidden Rod:''' 35pts for d6 additional power dice, causing d3 wounds to the wizard. Not really worth it - while a good magic phase could be worthy of sacrificing your wizard, this item can kill your wizard before he gets irresistible force - so not good.		*'''Forbidden Rod:''' 35pts for d6 additional power dice, causing d3 wounds to the wizard. Not really worth it - while a good magic phase could be worthy of sacrificing your wizard, this item can kill your wizard before he gets irresistible force - so not good. Could be used if your wizard has a ward save (5+ or greater). And 3 or more wounds. And a way to heal (lore of life, lore of vampires). And doesn't roll a misscast on any of its spells on the turn you get D6 extra dice. Still 8/81 chance to die. Extremely situational.
	*'''Trickster's Shard:''' 25pts for an item that can be used before a bearer's magic phase, causing a wound to each dispelling wizard on a roll of 5+ for each dispelled spell. Normally of debatable worth, but take it on Loremaster or Slann with all signature spells & Ruby Ring of Ruin and get either a free casting phase or a dead enemy wizard.		*'''Trickster's Shard:''' 25pts for an item that can be used before a bearer's magic phase, causing a wound to each dispelling wizard on a roll of 5+ for each dispelled spell.

	It is totally not necessary to have a magic item in each slot, it is not D&D. Heavy or Light armour with shield do their work just fine, unless you are aiming for 1+, Halberd or even Great Weapon are good and cheap either if you can surive without a shield. Don't be afraid to take a naked Annointed of Asuryan or an extra Skaven Chieftain, if you have a use for them, but can't afford to get them full magic gear - the default is perfectly fine. You are not obliged to max out the magic item allowance on each of your characters either. Almost-naked Vampire Lord is still formidable enough.

	*'''Armour of Destiny:''' 50pts for heavy armor with 4+ ward save. A nice second way to get 4+ Ward save. No, it is NOT worth it for Lords not capable of taking mundane heavy armour, as it prevents Enchanted Shield, which totally compensates for it.

	*'''Trickster's Helm:''' 50pts for helm, which causes the enemy to re-roll successful to wound rolls. Take it on high-T lords to troll the living hell out of low-S enemies.

	*'''Armour of Silvered Steel:''' 45pts for 2+ armor save which cannot be improved by any means. Apparently, silvering somehow makes regular steel armor twice as good. Anyway, this is a nice item for a hero on foot with no shield. Consider combining this with Talisman of Preservation to become unkillable. Just keep in mind, 2+ is not top armor save, so you are 1-point more vulnerable to ArP or S4+ attacks than an average 1+ chaos guy. Also, anything that ignores armor saves makes this item completely useless.		*'''Armour of Silvered Steel:''' 45pts for 2+ armor save which cannot be improved by any means.
