Magic items are created objects whose functionality is generated solely by magic. They differ from technology, which functions solely through the application of science, and hybrid items, which work through a combination of both science and magic. Magic items that are worn on the body generate magical fields that interfere with each other. If more than two such items (known commonly as "worn magic items") are donned simultaneously, all of them cease to function. This limitation interestingly does not apply to magic items carried in the hand (known colloquially as "held magic items"), or those integrated into a magical or hybrid weapon or armor (e.g. weapon fusions, armor upgrades, or augmentations). Additionally, consumable magic items (those that have an immediate or temporary effect) also do not create these magical fields.1
