Ark of the Covenant Heb 9:4 Brass Plates 1 Ne 5: 18-19 Miraculous Heirlooms? Nibley defined a magical item as something that contained the supernatural power within itself. Almost all divine instruments, such as the Liahona and seerstones, work by faith. They are not gadgets so much as faith instruments. Without faith, they don't work. (The Brother of Jared's shining pebbles might be an exception.) As a rule, I reject "magical" items and ideas. Music is magical. Beyond that, magic means prestidigitation.
