I always liked the idea of a character bonded with a particular weapon (something like a family sword), but the magic objects can become a bit useless if the player found a better one. The idea of this is to create a base magic item that evolves when the player level up (and optionally when he/she finish a series of tasks or when a triggering event occurs). The items are divided in 5 tiers (depending on the rarity of the object) and each one has a number of properties with a particular level of each property (from I to III-IV).

Interesting array. I think it could use some polishing with balancing some features to compensate for min-maxing players and keeping everything about as powerful as everything else of that rarity rating, but this is definitely helpful for my low-magic campaign. Thanks very much.
