Magic items have been an
intricate part of Ultima Online since its very beginning, allowing
players to enhance their abilities through the use of a special
weapon, or a piece of armor, jewelry, or clothing. In Ultima Online:
Age of Shadows, this fundamental system will be translated into
an entirely new magic item properties system that will allow for
a greater diversity of item effects and enhancements.
With this new dynamic system, there will be practically limitless
combinations of magic properties available on magic items, allowing
for a greater level of rarity and a wide range of new abilities
and effects. By mixing and matching gear, players will be able
to fine-tune their characters better than ever before.

Resist Modifiers:
Resistance modifiers apply their bonus directly to your character's
different resistances. Resistances reduce damage done by attacks.
For example, at 40% Physical Resistance, all Physical damage dealt
to the player will be reduced by 40%.
Physical Resist - Previously considered as AR, this effect is
now a resistance to physical damage. AR used to block a set amount
of damage per hit - but Physical Resistance blocks a percentage
of damage from each hit. This property adds directly to your Physical
Resistance.
Fire Resist - This item property adds to your Fire Resistance.
Energy Resist - This item property adds to your Energy Resistance.
Cold Resist - This item property adds to your Cold Resistance.
Poison Resist - This item property adds to your Poison Resistance.
Durability Effects:
Durability - Durability bonuses are applied to an object once.
A more durable object takes longer to wear down and break.
Regeneration Effects:
Hit Point Regeneration - Increases the wearer's natural Hit Point
regeneration rate.
Mana Regeneration - Increases the wearer's natural Mana regeneration
rate.
Stamina Regeneration - Increases the wearer's natural Stamina
regeneration rate.
Defense Increasers:
Defense Chance Increase - Increases the wearer's chance that
his opponents' swings (or arrows/bolts) will miss. (The maximum effect you can get from this property is capped at 45%)
Stat Bonuses:
Strength Bonus - Increases a player's strength while the object
is equipped.
Intelligence Bonus - Increases a player's intelligence while the
object is equipped.
Dexterity Bonus - Increases a player's dexterity while the object
is equipped.

is equipped.
The skill bonuses can be found on items: Anatomy, Animal Lore,
Animal Taming, Archery, Chivalry, Discordance, Evaluate Intelligence, Fencing, Focus,
Healing, Macing, Magery, Meditation, Musicianship, Necromancy, Parrying, Peacemaking,
Provocation, Resisting Spells, Stealing, Stealth, Swordsmanship, Tactics, Veterinary,

Derived Stat Bonuses:
HP Increase - Increases a player's maximum Hit Points while the
object is equipped.
Mana Increase - Increases a player's maximum Mana while the object
is equipped.
Stamina Increase - Increases a player's maximum Stamina while
the object is equipped.
Damage Converters:
Normally, weapons do 100% of their damage as Physical Damage.
Damage Converters convert part (or all) of a weapon's damage to
one of the four Elemental Damage Types. The total of the weapon's
Physical, Fire, Cold, Energy, and Poison damage will always be
100%.
Physical Damage - % of the damage that will be dealt as Physical
damage.
Fire Damage - % of the damage that will be dealt as Fire damage.
Cold Damage - % of the damage that will be dealt as Cold damage.
Energy Damage - % of the damage that will be dealt as Energy damage.
Poison Damage - % of the damage that will be dealt as Poison damage.
Damage Increasers:
Damage Increase - Increases the maximum and minimum damage the
wielder deals with wrestling, melee and ranged weapons. (The maximum effect you can get from this property is capped at 100%)
Speed Effects:
Swing Speed Increase - This property increases the weapon's swing
rate by a percentage, allowing the wielder to swing more frequently
in combat.
Hit Increasers:
Hit Chance Increase - Increases the player's chance to hit a
target with wrestling, melee and ranged weapons. (The maximum effect you can get from this property is capped at 45%)
Caster Modifiers:
Spell Damage Increase - Increases the damage of the item wearer's
spells. (The maximum effect you can get from this property is capped at 15% for PvP, PvM has no cap.)
Faster Cast Recovery - Lowers the amount of time to recover after
casting a spell.
Mage Armor - Mage Armor items eliminate an item's Meditation penalty.
For example, a plate tunic with the Mage Armor property will no
longer reduce the effectiveness of the wearer's use of the Meditation
skill to regain mana.
Faster Casting - Lowers the amount of time required to cast a
spell.*
Lower Mana Cost - Lowers the amount of Mana required to cast a
spell by a percentage. This includes Necromancer spells and Paladin
abilities. (The maximum effect you can get from this property is capped at 40%)
Lower Reagent Cost - % chance that any spell or Paladin Ability
cast by the wearer will not consume reagents or Tithing Points.
Spell Channeling - Allows a mage to wield a weapon while casting
a spell, but increases the wielder's spell casting time.
Mage Weapon - Uses the player's Magery skill as a combat skill
for the weapon (i.e.: Magery used in lieu of Swordsmanship for
a sword). However, the wielder's Magery skill is lowered while
wielding such a weapon. Note that using Special Moves associated
with the weapon will still require the wielder to have the required
amount of skill points in the actual weapon skill.
*The effects of Faster Casting is capped depending on your skills.
For normal magery spells, the cap is 2.
For normal magery spells while under the effects of the protection spell, the cap is 0.
For chivalry abilities the cap is 4. Unless you have 70 or more magery, in which case the cap is 2.

Weapons. The weapon with this property will do double damage versus
a specific monster or grouping of monsters.

normal damage. Then the weapon leeches a percentage of the damage
done from the target's Stamina, transferring the leeched Stamina
to the weapon's wielder.
Hit Mana Leech - Each time the weapon hits, it will do its normal
damage. Then the weapon leeches a percentage of the damage done
from the target's Mana, transferring the leeched Mana to the weapon's
wielder.
Hit Life Leech - Each time the weapon hits, it will do its normal
damage. Then the weapon leeches a percentage of the damage done
from the target's Hit Points, transferring the leeched Hit Points
to the weapon's wielder.
Hit Lower Attack - A successful hit with this weapon temporarily
lowers the attack rating of the target by a certain percentage.
Hit Lower Defense - A successful hit with this weapon temporarily
lowers the defense rating of the target by a certain percentage.

unlimited uses.

to cause damage in an area of effect around the wielder. The damage
done by these effects only harms targets the wielder can legally
attack, so there is no worry of accidentally harming an innocent.
