How does an Archivist interact w/ Divine magic items?

[Veven1290]

Can he use any divine magic item without making UMD checks, or only cleric ones? If only cleric spells, would it be safe to say he can use other divine magic items once he has those spells in his prayer book?

thanks for the help.

A caster can use any spell trigger item of a spell that appears on his spell list, and any spell completion item for a spell on his list that he can make a CL check for. An archivist's spell list is made of of every divine spell. The only difference between a cleric spell and a non-cleric spell is that an archivist doesn't automatically add non-cleric divine spells to his spellbook, he has to scribe them from scrolls. They are still on his spell list though.
