A Magazine is an everyday glossy magazine on one of many subjects. It is a piece of literature that passes the time on a slow day.
A read lowers boredom and eases a little stress. The effect is mild, but magazines are light and turn up almost everywhere. A few in a bag make a cheap cure for a dull night at a base.
Each copy has a subject, picked when it is found. The subjects run from art, cars, cinema and fashion to firearms, golf, music, science and sports. There are titles for children and teens, and for horror, humour and crime fans too.
Desks, book store shelves, hospital hallway racks and golf stores are among the surest places to find one.
Reading
A Magazine is read like any magazine. A read brings a fair drop in boredom and a small drop in stress. It is a light comfort rather than a strong one.
Its effect matches the Magazine: TV Monthly and the puzzle magazines, the Magazine: Crossword and the Magazine: Wordsearch. HottieZ eases stress much further. A Leatherbound Book does far more for boredom and also lifts unhappiness.
The subject changes only the title and the flavour. Every subject gives the same relief, so any copy is worth a look on a quiet evening.
Spare copies have other uses. Make Magazine Body Armor takes magazines and needs Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes them with no skill needed. A stack of old magazines is a cheap start on light armour. As fuel or kindling, a copy burns for about seven and a half minutes.

Locations
Desks in almost any building hold a magazine, as do book store shelves. Golf store counters and hospital hallway magazine racks are just as sure. Art store counters and music stores hold one about two times in three. Gun stores, hunting lodges and liquor stores stock them on their magazine shelves more than half the time. Office counters, dressers and side tables hold one about half the time. Camping stores, tailoring stores and electronics stores are also good places to look. The magazine is one of the most common finds in any town.
