Really it would just need to be a text file that is 1 item per line.. seriously. great prog brother. Oh and just an idea, i bet Magical Items would be an easy addition to this program, as many weapons use the 'power' framework instead of just 'magic', you could have it be rather generic, hit/dam reach yadayada and then 'import power' area.
