Cripes! As much as I miss RoleMaster (great sys, but I can't get any
players) ... I was not attempting to import it into SR ... I keep being
told that any magical item you can make in another RPG can be made in SR,
so I was hoping I could get you (You in the abstract list sense) to prove
it with an example.

I am planning on porting a few things from RM but it won't involve any
drastic bending of SR rules (If it does, most likely I won't do it)
