The Magic Item Specialist Class would be a new mage class who specializes using magical items.
Role: The Magic Item Specialist would rely more on magical items to cast spells and less on casting spells from books. No class can currently do this until they reach very high levels
Here are some example features of this class: * Very low level spell to obtain a feeling about the magical state of an item * Ability to castrecharging and identification spells at a lower level than other wizard classes * Limited access to spells that do not relate to items * Better fighting ability than most other magic users * Ability to create magic items similar to a certain role playing game. Prerequisites would be ability to cast certain spells (or certain scrolls) and gold * Class stats at first level with a weak offensive wand and scroll(s) of recharging
KhymChanur: Alchemists in 3.0.0 will be a class that will be dependant on the use of magic devices (rather than creating artifacts and ego items). They'll have a non-spell ability to recharge magic devices with a 0% chance of destroying them, and at higher levels will be able to make devices resistant to draining, and have the ability to create their own rods.
DarkGod: Voila
ElvishPillager: Also, Rogues are particularly good at the magic-device skill, and they have the stealing skill to help them acquire such items.
