Since psionics are so prevalent on Athas, it is only natural that psionic items are far more common here than elsewhere. Athasians have been creating psionic items to help them master their mental talents for thousands of years. While psionic items are relatively common, they are not as common as magically enchanted devices—few psionicists ever become skilled enough to easily create an empowered item.
Creating a psionic item is a much more personal and experimental process than enchanting a magical device. When the psionicist finishes his work. he has actually created a new intelligence with its own personality. goals. and capabilities. Most psionicists are accordingly cautious about empowering items that may eventually fall into the wrong hands.
