I am confused as to the usefulness of magical items to wizards (to those who aren't wizards, they may prove useful).
I realize that powerstones, staffs, and items that are "always on" are useful to wizards. But why enchant a staff with the power of healing, if it doesn't confer any special abilities to the wizard who enchanted it? There is no ritual, but casting time, energy cost, and success are determined as if you did cast it. So, the only "benefit" it provides is that there is no ritual (and if you are powerful enough, then you don't need a ritual), but you will be required to spend energy and longer casting time, AND success is the same as if you just casted it yourself. The only benefits I see for it are for selling it or other people using it.
