Are you treating magic items like spells? Only a few and with a limited scope? [@Drifting Pollen]

Glad you're interested!  Existing characters are welcome, as well as new ones.

As for magic items... it depends on the scope/use of them really.  Something like boots that enhance speed would be counted as regular equipment, since that kind of upgrade is similar to, say, playing a character of a race with naturally high speed (same effect, different reason).  Likewise, a spear that transforms into a sword would not count towards the magical limitation, as that's an effect that could be replicated to some extent by simply carrying two weapons.

A magic item would count as a 'spell,' however, if it had a distinct and sudden effect that gave a major advantage while being well beyond the boundaries of ordinary weaponry/equipment.  For instance, if you recall our match in a previous tournament here: the 'rust dust' you used as Nicoli, which could eat away metal in seconds, would be allowed here, but would be counted as a spell.  So would the floating blades I used- but since those were under total and maintained control rather than being a single technique, those would not be allowed here.  A floating blade could still be potentially used, but it would need some limitation- the leviation would only last a certain time, perhaps, and have limited uses.
