Magic Item Creation:
All ‘Magic Item Creation’ is feat based but also skill based. The Feats grant a new skill under the craft heading ‘Craft: Feat Type’. Ex. Craft: Brew Potion.
The mage gets a base of ½ Lvl + Int Bonus for free in that skill.
Ex. Joe Mage takes the feat Brew Potion, his Int is 18 and he is 8th Lvl, he gets a base skill in Craft: Brew Potion of 8 and is allowed to spend points in this skill up to lvl max allowed. He also gets 1 Free Skill point in each ‘Feat Skill’ per lvl.
To create an item reference the table below:

Feat Base DC
Scribe Scroll (1 + Spell Level + Caster Level of Spell) x 2
Brew Potion (3 + Spell Level + Caster Level of Spell) x 2
Craft Arms and Armor (5 + (Bonus x Bonus) + Bonus)
Craft Wondrous Item (3 + Spell Level + Caster Level of Spell) x 2
Forge Ring (12 + Spell Level + Caster Level of Spell) x 2
Craft Rod (9 + ¼ Charges + Highest Spell Level + Highest Caster Level + Number of spells)
Craft Staff (12 + Spell Levels + Caster Levels) x 2
Craft Wand (5 + ¼ Charges + Spell Level + Caster Level of Spell)

Examples:

Wand of Cure Light Wounds = (5 + 1 + 13 + 8)= DC 27 For an 8th Level Caster Level
Scroll of Cure Light Wounds = (1 + 1 + 8) x 2= DC 20 For an 8th Level Caster Level (10 for a 3rd Level Caster Level)
Sword +2 of Speed (equal to another +3) = (5 + ((2+3) x (2+3)) + (2+3))= DC 35
Potion of Cure Light Wounds = (3 + 1 + 8) x 2= DC 24 For an 8th Level Caster Level (12 for a 3rd Level Caster Level)

Failure of a Roll delays the creation for 1 additional day and allows a re-roll. Rolling a 1 or a 2 on the Creation results in ½ the cost being lost and the item needing to be restarted.

Creation takes 1 hour per 200gp (Minimum 1 hour). Cost is the same as the main rulebook, with one slight exception. For each +2 to the DC you can decrease the cost by 2%. This will decrease the XP cost as well. Minimum price is 76% of base price.

Magic Item Creation:

Do I understand you correctly: A spellcaster has to take the feats magic item creation and any magic item crafting feat to get benefits of the feat magic item creation feat.

The mage gets a base of ½ Lvl + Int Bonus for free in that skill.

In each craft magic item skill? e.g a wizard level 1 takes the feat magic item creation? He already has the feat scribe scroll, so he gets 1/2 level (which is 0,5) + int bonus for free in a skill called crafting scrolls.
So this wizard has a bonus of 2x int-bonus+ 1/2 level in this skill.
This wizard advances in level and takes at level 6 the feat brew potion.
Now he gets 1/2x level (3) + Int bonus for free in a skill called craft: brew potion.
So the wizard level 6 has a bonus of 2x int-bonus + 3 in this skill and his craft: scribe scroll is now 2x int-bonus+ 0,5 (or +3???) + 5 (because of one free skill point/level).
Craft skills are int-based so a wizard possess already a high bonus in this skills.
If a wizard has an int of 18 you grant with this feat at mininum +4 skill points + a bonus of 1/2 level + 1 skill point/level) to each craft skill which is needed in an item creation.

Examples:

Wand of Cure Light Wounds = (5 + 1 + 13 + 8)= DC 27 For an 8th Level Caster Level

The maximum rank in your skill a spellcaster can have at level 8 is 11 ranks + int bonus.
Cure light wounds is a spell of cleric and clerics do not have an high int bonus.
I assume an int of 12, so this cleric gets a +1. 27-12=15. This cleric has a 75% chance to fail the check.
A wizard who wants to create a wand of magic missiles with caster level 8 has also a DC of 27. He gets a bonus of 11 rank +4 (int bonus). He has a 60% chance to create the wand.

Scroll of Cure Light Wounds = (1 + 1 + 8) x 2= DC 20 For an 8th Level Caster Level

The cleric from above has 60% chance of creating this scroll. The wizard has a 75 % chance.

Your feat favors the wizard. The wizard has a higher chance to create a powerful item. With this feat powerful clerical items are rare and more expensive.
