Re: Why Magic Items
One method that I am using is a limited number of wizards. The talents and mind set to be a wizard are rare.
There are no guilds with more than 4 members except in capitol cities and they are busy with orders from aristocrats. Any items with more than 3 enchantments are products from the past. Also, enchantments that take more than a few weeks are simply not undertaken. Wizards have lives and they require each request to be accompanied by all necessary ingredients. They're not willing to accept orders that require them to do the work of acquiring dangerous ingredients.
This allows some enchantments which make the adventurer safer and more effective, without creating total immunity and immediate death dealing damage.
