-== Item Spellcasting ==
+Spellcasting Items are, as the name suggests, items from which spells may be cast. On Avlis, how a spellcasting item is used depends on whether or not it was created by a player character using the [[artificing]] system. Artificed wands and scrolls are activated using a character's own spellcasting ability, or their [[NWN:Spellcraft|Spellcraft]] skill, or their [[NWN:Use Magic Device|Use Magic Device]] skill. Other spellcasting items found in-game may be used without any of the above, but may receive bonuses from the player character's Use Magic Device skill.

	Version 1.5 introduces a new implementation of metamagic feats which allows the use of multiple feats with a spell. Due to the limitations of the system, there are a few caveats. First, stacking is only possible through the use of items called metamagic rods. Second, these rods will only work with hooked spells. Spells that have not yet been hooked will gain no benefits from them. You will find Empower, Extend and Maximize rods, in addition to the new feat listed below. Unfortunately, due to engine limitations, Still, Silent and Quicken spell cannot be made into rods at this time.
