This is a rolemaster system role-playing game supplement focusing on treasure and magic item creation. It includes magic item creating spell lists for mages, priests and mentalists (psionicists). It contains a great section on the effects of magic on economies and how this impacts a roleplaying setting realisitically.

All the magic items in the book can be created using the spells in the book and it includes a system for rating the power of the items in levels.

It also includes non magical treasures such as gems (with tons of charts and descriptions) and supernatural materials from the well known mithril and adamant to the not so well known laen, eyog and black alloy.

Unfortunately the proofreading was very poor on this book.

Similar to a GURPS supplement, this is well thought out, useful for behind the scenes use in running a role playing game providing ideas on how to make the background rolepalying world make sense and have some flavor. It is easily adaptable to most game systems including D&D, GURPS and of course Rolemaster or MERP.
