	Magic items in [[Breaking Worlds]] are created by binding a spirit into a specially prepared [[Evoker skills#Artifice\|anchor]]. This can be almost any kind of item, although it is not normally possible to create one smaller than a few inches across. More powerful spirits require more expensive and elaborate anchors.

	In general, binding a spirit to an item is less powerful but more flexible than binding one to a person.
