Magical Engineering

Class proficiency — see Proficiencies for the rules and the Proficiency Index for the full list.

The character has specialized knowledge of magical items. With one rank of Magical Engineering, the character gains a +1 bonus on magic research throws and increases his research rate by 5%. He can recognize conventional and usual magical items or special components by examining them for one turn (10 minutes) with a proficiency throw of 11+. He can extract special components from constructs. He cannot, however, recognize unusual or unique magical items, discern command words, distinguish trapped or cursed items from safe ones, or assess the specific bonus or number of charges remaining in an item. This proficiency can be selected multiple times, each time adding an additional +1 bonus to magical research throws, increasing research rate by 5%, and reducing the proficiency throw required to recognize common items by 4.
