Question Title:	Purpose of Spellcraft on Items
Category:	Items
Question:	What is the purpose of the spellcraft figure on an item such as a wand ? Is it only relevant when casting the spell inherent to the wand/orb etc ? Or does it have some bearing upon the spells you might cast yourself ? Thanks !

Answer:	Spellcraft on items represents the "skill level" of the item. A 200 spellcraft piece of enchanted casts its spell as if it were a caster with a 200 skill. So yes, the only place you'll really notice it is on casting items (orb/wands/etc).
