From what I can tell from the modding doc, there isn't much available in the way of modding magic items - e.g. if I wanted to create some artifact called the "Ocarina of Time"
I would need to take an existing item which behaves somewhat like the OoT would, and all I could change would be its name and level/gem requirements - no adding spells or other such abilities to it?
Or am I missing something here - maybe I have an old version of the modding doc? I got it here
