RE: (TFT) RE: New Item: Maintain Summoning --> Elemental costs: president???

[Chris Nicole <chris_nicole@operamail.com>]

Just out of curiosity here:
How many TFT players know of or actually have a PC wizard capable of creating 
magic items ?
If you do have such a 'high level' wizard, did they start as a 32 point 
character and work their way up?

TFT Game Masters, do you have Wizards Guilds churning out powerful magic items 
to order ?
