Author slade had already prepared a master index for magical items, the Magic Encyclopedia 1 (1992) and 2 (1993). These items contained references to which product the magical items were introduced, but without detailed descriptions. The Encyclopedia Magica series contains very detailed descriptions, plus lots of black and white illustrations and full-page color paintings. In the credits section, Author slade thanks TSR dinosaur James M. Ward for his chuckle, when Ward heard, that slade got the project.
