Recommended Cards for DMG Wondrous Items (More Misc)

Various
RW 97 Cube - This tarnished iron device with black bar patterns is naturally a good choice for the cubes of force and frost resistance and the cubic gate. I also think it's a good proxy for the apparatus of the crab, the folding boat, the bowl of commanding water elementals, the brazier of commanding fire elementals, the censer of controlling air elementals, and the instant fortress.

RW 98 Demon Fang - Stained with blood, this single tooth doesn't have a clear match with any wondrous items in the DMG, but for the time being I'll use it for the various figurines of wondrous power.

RW 99 Feather - This white feather rippling in the still air is most obviously one of the feather tokens, but it could also be a wind fan (or wings of flying).

RW104 Powder - A small glass tube with very fine black ash suggests the dusts of appearance, disappearance, dryness, illusion, and tracelessness. Let's use it for incense of meditation as well (my PC's love their incense).

RW 107 Salve - A clay jar of creamy substance with clove scent can be quite versatile. Perhaps it's stone salve or salve of slipperiness, but it might just as well be marvelous pigments, restorative ointment, silversheen, sovereign glue, unguent of timelessness, or universal solvent.

RW 109 Unicorn Horn - This cleanly severed member of a noble beast, if hollowed, could be made into horns of blasting, fog, goodness/evil, tritons, or Valhalla or into pipes of haunting, pain, sounding, or the sewers. It's equine nature also suggests the horseshoes of a zephyr and of speed and the stone horses. Adventure Gear may give us something more appropriate, but with some imagination this long narrow object could also be candles of invocation or truth, chimes of interuption or opening, or a talisman of the sphere.

Armor, Weapons, Etc.
RW16 Club - Spiked stones with twisted wooden handle seems to be our best choice for the maul of the titans.

RW 29 Quarterstaff - Wood with strange markings and oily stains, this staff is a reasonable proxy for a broom of flying (bristles not included).

RW 59 Ring - Although it's a little thick, this plain silver band with tiny cracks is what I'd use for ring gates.

HH11 Buckler - Iron with numerous scars, this device can serve as our drums of panic.

HH 39 Warhammer - A stone head with a serpentine stain, this hammer is our mattock of the titans.
