Works for me-- I had been thinking we could just have a CP pool for magic
items, but this works just as effecitvely. Each team makes 5 to 10 magic
items, none of which can exceed 20 CP? Sounds ok to me... Maybe we can play
around with magic items and see if that 20 CP's needs adjusting up or down
or whatnot, but sounds ok to me for now.

Not quite sure I follow you-- I think you're saying:
- I bring a dk.gray sword with a spell to increase power rating by 1
- Wayne brings a dk.gray sword with a spell to increase stupidity by 2
- Joe's chamberpot-man picks up a dk.gray sword, and we have no way of knowing
which sword it is; mine or Wayne's.
- We roll to figure out whose item it is.
That right? That sounds ok to me... (I assume items will be put into chests
or whatnot so we can't see what we're getting until we open or touch said
chests)

SP powers should't be too bad that way; since you've got to spend 3 CP's per
SP, plus an indexed ability (assuming it's a thing that casts something), so
that's a max of... 5 SP's per item? Hm. Depending on indexed ability, that
IS a bit strong for J.Random item. AND, if we score it according to, say,
creature rules (like 1 CP per 1" hover flight), then it's *still* kinda
powerful (sword with 18" hover flight? Too powerful). Hmmmm. Maybe reduce
the max to 10 or 15 CP's per magic item? Base items (especially items like
books/jewelry/boots/etc) don't seem to cost much, leaving apparently lots of
space for increased pointage.
Although, here's a perfect opportunity for me to pitch my CP pool for magic
items idea. If we said you've got to have 10 items, and can't use more than
100 CP's total for them (max 20 CP per item), then you can't go splurging
and making lots of 20 CP items... Perhaps something like:
CP pool for magic items = 10 * Number of items (max 10)
Hence, you keep the balance pretty even...
