From an article on about the discovery of new Arabic short stories:
“Although the title page of this medieval Arab story collection has been lost (as have more than half the original stories), the opening sentence of its introduction declares that these are al-hikayat al-‘ajiba wa’l-akhbar al-ghariba, or Tales of the Marvellous and News of the Strange.”
“ ‘Ajiba is an adjective which means ‘marvellous’ or ‘amazing’ and its cognate plural noun, aja’ib, or marvels, is the term used to designate an important genre of medieval Arabic literature that dealt with all things that challenged human understanding, including magic, the realms of the jinn, marvels of the sea, strange fauna and flora, great monuments of the past, automatons, hidden treasures, grotesqueries and uncanny coincidences.’ “
So, for me, the Tag has to be Marvelous, or Ajiba if you’re down with multilingual Tags 😉
Non-euclidean
;P
Great ideas here.
I like Spengler’s ‘Unparalleled’ (or ‘Unmatched’) if we’re talking about a single tag for super-uber-awesome magical AND non-magical items.
EDIT : Curses. My crocodile brain defaulted to Magic Item tags, which is not appropriate for your question.
Some of these work great, though as a Tag, it would be difficult to incorporate something like Unparalleled as an object Tag. If you were to describe your magic as such, what properties would it be describing?
