No mundo, as armas tendem a ser descritas em termos de características únicas, e não em números.
Além de "mágico", "mágico", "encantado" ou palavras de significado semelhante, não existe um termo estrito no mundo para + 1 ou armas ou itens melhores, nem para descrever as graduações exatas dos bônus mágicos.
O que você encontra, particularmente nos romances, é que os personagens quase nunca se referem à sua arma em termos de estatísticas do jogo (mais uma, mais duas etc.), mas em termos de como eles a percebem. Por exemplo, veja esta seção do romance Cormyr:
Symylazarr, the Font of Honor, upon which the treacherous nobles had sworn fealty, was as broad as the Blade of Memory and etched along its blade with archaic runes. Orblyn, King Duar's mage-forged sword, with which he rallied the kingdom during the Pirate Exile, was a thinner, more modern blade. ...
Orblyn was covered with fine runes lightly etched into the blade. Salember had to hold the blade up to the light to see them clearly. The magical inscriptions seemed to twist and write as he watched. After all these years, Orblyn had held its edge and sharpness.
E mais tarde, quando uma arma mágica é usada na batalha:
The young prince reached the dragon and struck. His blade bit deep. The sword, supposedly crafted long ago by Amedahast herself, parted a scale as if it were jelly and slide into the creature's haunch, striking to the bone.
In As duas espadas, duas armas mágicas se chocam:
The greatsword burst into flame, but the startled Drizzt reacted perfectly, slapping Icingdeath across it.
The magic of the scimitar overruled the fires of the great-sword, extinguishing them in a puff of angry gray smoke, and it was Obould, suddenly, who was caught by surprise, just as he had started forward to overwhelm the drow.
Vários outros itens no mesmo livro são simplesmente descritos como "encantados", sem referência ao seu nível de potência preciso. Por exemplo:
Drizzt motioned that he did not know. He pulled off his cloak, then loosened his enchanted, armored shirt so that he could pull one sleeve down over his hand.
