Description: Magic items respond to your touch and gain strength from your spellcasting power.

Prerequisites: Any Item Creation feat, Spellcraft (8 ranks), Ability to cast spells


The saving throw DCs and ability to pierce spell resistance of any magic items you wield are calculated as though you were casting the spell, including caster level and all appropriate modifiers. If the normal save DC of the magic item’s ability is higher than yours would be, you can choose instead to use its save DC. So, for example, if you are a 5th level caster and have the Spell Focus (evocation) feat and are wielding a wand of burning hands, the saving throw DC of the wand would be 16 rather than the normal 11. In the case of staves, whose saving throw DCs are already based on your own, you instead add a +2 bonus to all saving throw DCs when casting spells from the staff.


Special

This feat applies only to those magic items which you yourself could create, meaning you must have the appropriate Craft Item feat to gain the benefits.
