The Warhammer Battle Magic game includes a number of magic item cards. Each card represents a magic item of one kind or another, some represent swords, others armour, and many are unique.

There are three types of magic item card:

• Magic Item
  Most cards have 'Magic Item' written on them twice. These represent the bulk of magic items whether they are weapons, armour, or whatever.

• Spell
  Some cards have 'Magic Item' and 'Spell' written on them. These are items which permit the user to cast a spell. These cards function in a similar way to spell cards as described later.

• Standard
  Standard cards have 'Magic Item' and 'Standard' or in a few cases 'Magic Item' and 'Spell Standard' written on them. These cards represent magic standards which may be carried by standard bearers. These are also described later.
