07-09-07, 12:51 PM If an archmage possesses the mastery of elements special ability, can they use that ability to affect spell trigger items such as a staff or wand (i.e. have a wand of lighting bolt produce cold damage instead of electrical)?

The deathstaff artifact in the Shining South is a prime example of that!
