* It should be stated clearly that the prerequisites are NOT set in stone. Substitutions are allowed and encouraged. Instead of a scroll of fireball to empower an item with magic, a barbarian might go and get breathed on by a red dragon while holding it. Instead of a Jump spell, a Monk might leap off a cliff while wearing the item to be empowered. Creativity is allowed and encouraged. In only the most prosaic of cases should hiring an NPC to cast a spell be the preferred method. How boring such a solution is.

* Using the metamagic feat [[Heighten Spell]] (or the metamagic rod, if you have one), it is also possible to place spells in items at a higher level than normal. The primary reason to do this is to make the saving throw DC higher, though this is only really applicable to offensive spells.  Note that this obviously increases the item's caster level.

; Wielded: This is the slot used for wielded melee weapons, ranged weapons, thrown weapons, rods, staves, wands or holy symbols.  Depending on the item, it is possible to wield more than one of these items, assuming you have enough hands free to do so.  Some of these items require two hands (such as magic bows).  The bonuses provided by these items nearly always require an attack to activate.  If a weapon or item is wielded in the same hand that a shield is being worn, the shield's bonus is lost on any round in which the wielded weapon or item is used.
