Utility of Wands (and scrolls/activated items)

[Xgya]

Imagine if DDO had a crafting system that allowed you to make wands, scrolls and potions.

A system that allows for casters to get at-will magic at the caster level they have would make an already supbar Artificer CAPSTONE even less enticing.
I also think we should introduce MORE ways to create blue bar problems for people that have them, not remove them; a wand/scroll/potion SHOULD be weaker than the very same spell actively used by the same person.

I think wands should be a weapon "mages use" not a disposable spell canon.
It should allow (a trained spell caster) to make a reasonable ranged attack

Having a magic "auto attack" for casters other than Warlock would be an interesting option for SP conservation. Pretty much every DPS caster suffers a lot in the early heroic. They are supposed to suffer as lowbies and shine higher up, but I think it's tilted a bit far right now: too weak low, too strong high.
