Ratings:
This isn't a Handbook. There will be no ratings as you would find in a traditional handbook. There is, however, color-coding for three types of items that are worthy of noting. In an effort to alleviate confusion with normal handbooks, I've chosen three colors normally not utilized.
Green -- These items are options that contain multiple damage types concurrently.
Orange -- These items are options that contain multiple damage types, but independant of each other.
Brown
-- A new color has been requested to denote options amongst magic items
that are properties/etc that provide for constant element-changing or
element-adding
