Now don’t get me wrong, your magical weapons are cool, but I think you’re
infusing too much power into a BR campaign if your using them all. Many of the
creators you propose for the items aren’t of sufficient level to create a potion, let alone powerful permanent artifacts. For a good discussion on this
subject, see Players Option: Spells and Magic. Look at what it takes to make a
lab or altar to create magic items (4-6 GB) and then what it takes to make the
item itself. Regents in my games would love to have the level, money and time
to create items like these.

Dan: most DMs, are, in their hearts, the worst kind of munchins & Monty
Haulers. So they like designing supra-powerful weapons. However, many DMs
feel it is their mission in life to keep the players “down and unhappy”;
they’re most satisfied when the players are most disatisfied. So, to
balance these two conflicting aspects of their personality, they create
supra-powerful artifact-level weapons to sprinkle the campaign with, but
then make sure no one’s ever happy to find them.
