Magic sword of infinite sharpness.
Sheathing the sword, or holding it by the hilt, quillons, or pommel causes it to become incredibly heavy.

Flaming sword. Only the handle sets on fire.
a skill scroll but the skill is related to an unknown knowledge of FORTRAN. Those who have used similar scrolls in the past have lost their sanity mumbling about "transitive arrays" to an early grave. many scholars believe the scrolls to be a form of dark magic and a form of punishment against man and his hubris.
a tome of summoning but it can only summon fictitious characters from textbooks. characters like the ones portrayed in math books and the like. you can use them an unlimited amount of times but they remember everything each time they come back. it's a bad idea to summon them as fodder as they will eventually kill you out of desperation.
an amulet of perception, it really doesn't do anything but turn you into a conceited astrology hipster that always gives their opinion on how you need to "open your chakra" and constantly attempts to strike up sexual awakenings with the general public. it has a hidden trait that enrages anyone that's heavily spiritual or holy, temporarily turning them to evil.
And I'm stealing that idea for my game, and that one, and this one is cool too ...
Bag of Olding: A very generously sized bag of holding, however it unfortunately speeds up the passage of time significantly inside it. Don't store food in it!
Harder tack: Magically compressed ships biscuits, commissioned by an admiral who heard of lembas bread but found it too expensive. His corpse was found in the harbour waters a week later.
One contains enough calories to last you a week of hard work, but you need a chisel and a sledgehammer to crack it into pieces and one hand-sized biscuit weighs 3kg. It tastes like cement dust.
Amulet of speak with the dead - cursed. Once attuned the user can speak with the dead, but can only interpret chat with the living as wailing, any attempts to speak with the living will sound like wailing to the other entity. Removing the item does not break the curse.
A magical sword that extends, but the longer you have it, the longer the incantation you have to say to get it to extend... Maybe show it some pictures of people cleaved in two, or try stabbing somewhere else to get it going.
This sword is enchanted with fire magic!
...The handle is made of super flammable material, though, and a bunch of people got third degree burns trying to weild it. There was a massive recall.
You know what "recall" means, though? Collector's item! These are rare af.
