I've devised a format for item write-ups which I've found useful, and was
wondering if it should be used more widely by GMs. That is:

Item Name
Plane of Origin:
Nature of Magic:
Physical Appearance:
Dimensions:
Weight:
Effects:

I use this layout for clarity, and to make sure that I cover all the things
which can be told by simple physical inspection or DA of an item. Of
course, in some cases these questions may have no answer.
