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

I have several PC's who build magic items.  They have all
worked their way up from 32 att.


PC's can order pretty much any magic item.  However they
often must bring in rare ingredients if such are needed.

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 ?
