			A wonder by any name is still as sweet... and you have one.
			What’s a Wonder? Perhaps it’s a mystic Talisman imbued with
			magickal power; a Fetish whose strange properties come from a
			spirit bound within its form; or a Technocratic or weird-science
			Device, shaped by Enlightened Science into something that
			transcends mortal technology. In game terms, a Wonder is
			simply an item with Sphere Effects of its own. Although such
			items, with a few exceptions, usually work only for mages, the
			Wonder’s form and function depend on the people who created
			it and the methods involved in its creation.

			So long as your Storyteller agrees, a Wonder can be anything:
			an oak branch carved with Nordic runes, a plasma cannon, a
			robotic SUV, a bank card that skims money from every account
			held by that bank, an enchanted guitar, an owl -feather pen
			that writes in any human language... the Wonder’s form and
			function can, within limits, be whatever you want them to be.
			Certain terms ''(Fetish, Device, etc.)'' define particular types of
			items. The '''''Toybox''''' section of '''Appendix II''' (see pp. 651-653)
			features details, rules, and an array of sample Wonders.

			Wonders can be temperamental... especially Fetishes,
			whose guiding spirits have personalities of their own. Even
			Devices, however, can seem uncannily stubborn, as anyone
			with a finicky car or computer can attest. They tend to have
			odd effects on the people who use them, especially mages who
			rely upon Wonders the way Elric of Melniboné relies upon his
			sword Stormbringer. In many cases, Wonders have elaborate
			backstories about their creation, history, and deeds. If your
			character begins play with a Wonder, work out an intriguing
			history and description of that item, then pass it off to your
			Storyteller for approval and further elaboration. Chances are,
			your Wonder will have secrets you won’t know about. Ideally,
			a Wonder is more than a simple “magic item”; instead, it’s a
			miracle in material form – solid proof of magick’s reality.

			:X -- No items of power.
			:• -- A Wonder with one small power – that is, a Wonder worth 1-3 points.
			:•• -- A Wonder with one or two powers, probably with some Quintessence and an Arete of its own. (4-6 points.)
			:••• -- A Wonder with a few notable powers or one respectable one. (7-9 points.)
			:•••• -- A Wonder with impressive powers or a powerful Effect. (10-12 points.)
			:••••• -- A Wonder with mighty powers or a single devastating Effect. (13-15 points.)
