Another idea, not really a problem but I just thought of it, if its
not a problem to implement, could you also make a way to create items
in a game? Something like a summon skill for items. Either a new
flag or making the existing summon flag able to take item names. I
haven't tried it but I assume the current summon skill can't generate
items.
