These first principles are by working out what is noticeable about an item:
- from a distance
- when you pick it up
- when you wield it
- when you hit with it
- over time
I intend to do this by writing on a piece of paper each kind of flag or bonus, and then making five different piles. Other people are welcome to do this too, it'd be interesting to see how people differ.
After that, it's just a case of making it happen.
