Any material object can be turned into a Wonder. Generally, the materials involved should be very high-quality goods, although a mage could enchant a battered store-bought teddy bear if he’s dedicated enough to that task. (For details about materials, see below.)

As a general rule, however, mages make Wonders out of things that are important to their view of the world… and do so using the practices that fit those beliefs. Put simply, a mage must work within his focus – his belief, practice and instruments – when crafting a Wonder. John Courage, as shown earlier, isn’t going to use witchcraft to enchant a cauldron, any more than that old Appalachian hoodoo-man would use reality hacking to craft nanotech. And although many mystics employ technology these days, that practice must still fit the mage’s focus before he can use it to craft tech-based Wonders.
