Christmas is a time of joy, love, and celebration. It is a time when families gather together to share special moments and create lasting memories. While Santa Claus is undoubtedly the most famous figure associated with Christmas, there is another mystical character that brings her own unique charm to the holiday season - the festive witch. The festive witch, also known as La Befana, is a beloved Italian tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. According to legend, La Befana was an old woman who was visited by the three wise men on their way to see the baby Jesus. They asked for directions to Bethlehem, but she didn't know the way.

Practially, however, there's a reason that this fan-made list of Sane Magic Item Prices has become so popular - it corrects what many see as an obvious deficiency within the game. Before you give your players an item, why not check its relative value on this list and see how it compares to other items, either of its rarity, or that produce similar effects - you might find that doing so saves you from making a potentially costly mistake (it's not infallible but it's saved me a couple of times).

The Wings give you a fly speed of 60 feet for one hour but then require a 1d12 hour cooldown period after each use before they can be activated again.

The 8000gp Wand of Magic Missiles

TLDR at bottom, and thanks for indulging me and reading my short story.

So I just started DMing for a group of 3 players, 2 of which have never played before (now a sorcerer and a druid). After a short two-shot (The Eldritch Farm, which was great, thanks to u/phonz1851) I have decided to run Waterdeep: Dragon Heist for this group.

First session of DH, and I am explaining to these brand new players about how Waterdeep is huge, unlike the small village they just helped out, and that there would be opportunities to buy magic items and such. The sorceress asks what kind of magic items are available that would be good for her (I was very proud of this question, they grow up so fast). So I told her that there would be wands that would allow her to cast certain spells, like magic missile (which is one of her known spells), without using a spell slot. She seemed intrigued and asked some passerby NPCs about where she would be able to find a wand shop.

So they guided her to a shop. She enters and asks about buying a Wand of Magic Missiles. I did a quick google to find out the price (I hadn't anticipated this before the session) and the very first hit says that it would be 8000gp. I felt like an idiot telling her that because she had done such a good job of role-playing to that point, only to be told that it was 80x the amount of gold she currently has. I felt like this also made me look like a tool. "Oh yeah, use some time to go buy some cool stuff! Sike! You won't have that much gold for a long time." So, she settled on a broken Wand of Magic Missiles (which the shopkeep just so happened to have) that has 6 charges, but won't regain charges ever, for 70gp.

I did more research later and found out that this price was off of a list that was a "community made" list. The following is a link to a PDF with magic item prices etc. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8XAiXpOfz9cMWt1RTBicmpmUDg/view?usp=sharing

The DM guide on page 135 has the "Magic Item Rarity" table, and it says that uncommon magic items should/can be given to players who are higher than level 1 (which my players are) and should cost between 101-500gp.

So, why in the world would a Wand of Magic Missiles cost so much? I understand that this is an amazing resource for a sorcerer, given how few spells they can learn, and is great for spell slot management. Is it a good magic item for a 2nd level sorcerer? Definitely. Is it 8000gp good? I don't feel like it is. It's not like she is going to be running around one-shotting everything they come across with a 9th level magic missile, and it is a great opportunity to have an enemy spellcaster use shield against her.

I fully understand that there is nothing forcing me use this PDF for magic item prices, and I will likely retcon the whole scenario, I just wanted to gather some ideas as to why such a relatively lowly magic item would cost so much. I would put it closer to the 500gp range.

tldr: why would a Wand of Magic Missiles cost 8000gp (as decided by "the community," which includes this sub), when the DM guide says magic items of that rarity/power should cost between 101-500gp?

From what I understand, uncommon magic items are less valuable than rare items in terms of functional power and monetary value. From the DMG (pg. 135), uncommon items are worth 101–500 gp while rare items are worth 501–5,000 gp. I was reading through various magic items and noticed the following items:

Regretting her decision, La Befana set off on her own to search for the baby Jesus. Carrying a broomstick, she visited every house, leaving small gifts for the children in the hopes that one of them was the Christ child. To this day, on the eve of the Epiphany, she is believed to fly on her broomstick from house to house, leaving gifts and treats for the children of Italy. The festive witch is often depicted as an old woman, dressed in a black cloak, riding a broomstick. She is said to be covered in soot from entering homes through chimneys, much like Santa Claus. However, while Santa delivers presents on Christmas Eve, La Befana makes her rounds on the night of January 5th, leaving gifts in stockings or shoes left out by children. In recent years, the legend of La Befana has spread beyond Italy, and she has become a symbol of Christmas in many parts of the world. Her story reminds us of the true spirit of the holiday season - the joy of giving without expecting anything in return. Just like Santa Claus, she represents the magic and wonder that is associated with Christmas. The festive witch brings a unique touch to the holiday season. While Santa Claus is known for his jolly laughter and red suit, La Befana adds a touch of mystery and enchantment with her broomstick and dark cloak. She is a reminder that Christmas is a time to embrace different traditions and celebrate the diversity of cultures. In conclusion, the festive witch, or La Befana, is an endearing figure that brings her own special magic to the Christmas season. Her legend serves as a reminder of the importance of generosity and the joy of giving. As we gather with our loved ones to celebrate, let us remember the story of La Befana and embrace the spirit of the festive witch..
