Any piece of equipment can be Masterworked, which requires an ever increasing amount of craftsmanship. An items Masterwork level is measured from 0 - 20. Zero indicates an item of completely mundane and only adequate quality. A Masterwork item provides notable bonuses, from becoming more versatile and easy to use to far more dangerous and elegant than their more mundane counterparts.
Masterwork bonuses may be applied multiple times, and each item can have any (legal) number of different applications of MWK abilities. Each new level of quality increases the price, and can either increase existing abilities, or add new ones.
