its magic item metaphysics time on ironworks - the question seems to be 'where's the magic?' all throughout the item? in the whole item in it's intact state? can magic items be broken and subsequently repaired?

is the magicness inherent to the inherent (prototypical) use of the item or the generic item on which it's based? boots of speed make you run quicker but then so does ilbathra occasionally and scrolls of haste - there seems no logical reason why the boot of speed effect couldn't be conferred on any sort of item

or something - surely some AD&D playing grad school student has developed a workable theory by now
