If a character is not a spell caster or wishes to use an activated item that they do not have on their spell list, they may make a successful Arcana check to ignore all spellcasting and class requirements. Race or other requirements require a successful Deception check. If there are multiple requirements, then all checks must be successful for the item to be used successfully. The difficulty increases with the rarity of the item. For common items you may use them without a check. For every rarity category after that, the challenge increases by five; uncommon=5, rare=10, very rare=15, legendary=20. For activated items, a character must roll every time a charge is used. If an item is attuned, then the character must roll a check every time it attuned. If you fail the check or checks, you cannot try to use the item for 24 hours and the item in inoperable for anyone else for that period.
