In today's modern era, technology has greatly advanced, allowing us to explore new and exciting realms. One of these exciting realms is the virtual world. Virtual reality (VR) technology has allowed us to step into a whole new dimension, where anything is possible. Among the vast variety of virtual worlds, there is one in particular that stands out - a certain magical virtual world. This magical virtual world is like no other. It is a place where imagination knows no bounds and where dreams become reality.
I ran into this
Similarly, any item with an Ego score of 20 or higher always considers itself superior to any character, and a personality conflict results if the possessor does not always agree with the item. A better alternative would be similar to how treasure hoards are rolled to eliminate rerolling, but for the moment, I support RAW as much as possible as my primary design goal, with any deviations in the future as options.
It is a place where imagination knows no bounds and where dreams become reality. In this world, users are able to experience fantastical adventures and interact with characters and creatures that only existed in their wildest dreams. From soaring through the sky on the back of a dragon to exploring ancient ruins filled with mystical artifacts, the possibilities are endless.
Intelligent Items
Magic items sometimes have intelligence of their own. Magically imbued with sentience, these items think and feel the same way characters do and should be treated as NPCs. Intelligent items have extra abilities and sometimes extraordinary powers and special purposes. Only permanent magic items (as opposed to single-use items or those with charges) can be intelligent. (This means that potions, scrolls, and wands, among other items, are never intelligent.) In general, less than 1% of magic items have intelligence.

Intelligent items can actually be considered creatures because they have Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. Treat them as constructs. Intelligent items often have the ability to illuminate their surroundings at will (as magic weapons do); many cannot see otherwise.
Unlike most magic items, intelligent items can activate their own powers without waiting for a command word from their owner. Intelligent items act during their owner’s turn in the initiative order.

Reviews for "Unleashing Your Inner Wizard: The Delights of a Magical Virtual World"
- JaneDoe87 - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "A certain magical virtual world". The world-building felt flat and unoriginal, like a generic fantasy game. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it hard to care about their journey or any of the conflicts they faced. The plot was predictable and the twists were lackluster. Overall, I found the book to be underwhelming and it didn't live up to the hype.
- BookLover123 - 3 stars - While "A certain magical virtual world" had an interesting concept of blending magic and virtual reality, the execution fell short for me. The pacing was inconsistent, with slow parts that dragged on and rushed sections that left me confused. The writing style was also lackluster, lacking descriptive prose and failing to immerse me in the world of the story. Additionally, the romance subplot felt forced and came out of nowhere, taking away from the main plot. Overall, it had potential but didn't deliver.
- FantasyFanatic - 1 star - "A certain magical virtual world" was a huge disappointment. The world-building was weak, providing little explanation or depth to the magical elements introduced. The characterization was also lacking, with the protagonist being a Mary Sue and the supporting cast being forgettable. The plot felt disjointed and poorly executed, making it hard to engage with the story. Overall, I couldn't connect with the book and found it to be a forgettable read.
