I'd like to see a way to have this manifest without a forced narrative, but I'm not sure how that's possible.I think there's a strong implication that this is normal, however.I'll go back and quote myself:So, there you go. Money, improving allies, political pull, to name three. It'd also be useful for making long term allies or contacts, bribery, and many other potential uses.Absolutely none.No, they aren't.I've pointed out more uses than just the group getting uses out of it.I disagree with this in general, but I also don't believe it's true in this case.First, it's only "forcing" if you want to craft magic items. That's your call, it's not inherently forced (though if it was, it'd probably still be fine in my eyes, as it's not like you wasted a choice on it). However, in this scenario, there's a plethora of tangible benefits to a caster who takes the feat, especially if the setting is one that complements the feat choice (which generally means rarer magic items in the setting, but it could be just a lower number of spellcasters in general, or something else entirely). I don't find your arguments accurate or compelling. But, as always, play what you like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
