Making something really massive is usually a bad idea, because it tends 
to go bowling over all other things you'd be interested in. Player would 
be dis-satisfied if he walked up to a Shining Shield +10 laying on a 
table, and it blew out into orbit when he got close...

Also, really massive things require lots of force to be moved around, 
which means they may be pushed pretty far into various surfaces.

Cheers,
