EGO Ego is a property of the more powerful armor and weapons, reflecting their tendency to prefer masters whose power reflects their own. As long as an item is no stronger than its user, ego has no effect. If the item _is_ stronger than the user, the effect is variable, depending on the item: For an armor, the effect is that the item may not protect the user as it otherwise might. For a weapon, special properties of the weapon may become unreliable or not function at all, and the weapon may hit less effectively as it resists being wielded. As a rule, most things that make an item more powerful also increase its ego; weight (and occasionally other disadvantages) reduces ego. Your resistance to magic provides you with the means to assert control over an items ego.
