Item Law #101

Law of Similar Sounding Names

1. If two items of the same class have remarkably similar sounding names, they must bear an equivalent physical resemblance to each other.
2. 1. This resemblance need not extend to function or use.
   2. If items are not of the same class, physical resemblance is recommended but not required.
3. If an item has a remarkably similar sounding name to an object that is not an item, it must bear an equivalent physical resemblance if it has a similar use or function as the non-item.

Interpretation

So, for example, the Ring of Immortality must be very similar in color, material, and design to the Ring of Immorality. Likewise if a sword called the Kordish Gutter is used to eviscerate your opponents it may look however the creator wishes, but if it kills by raising a victim's cholesterol count to lethal levels or is capable of making toast tasty, then it should be shaped like a giant stick of Kordish Butter.
