Granted Features
Automatic:
Skill check feat enabling temporary activation of a magic item normally outside your class or tradition. Attempt a skill check matching the item's magic tradition (Arcana, Nature, Occultism, Religion, or any of four for Magical trait items) against GM-set DC based on item level. Success grants item activation for the rest of your current turn. If you lack proficiency in the required spell attack modifier or spell DC, use your level as proficiency bonus and highest of INT, WIS, or CHA.

You can't cast spells but mimic spellwork well enough to convince others you have magical powers. You've pretended to be a magical adept for so long you've learned to fool magic items into working at your touch. Choose two attribute boosts. One must be to Wisdom or Charisma, and one is a free attribute boost. Deception skill and a magic tradition skill of your choice (Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion) , and a Lore skill. You gain the Trick Magic Item skill feat.

Attribute Boosts Wisdom, Charisma

Trained Deception; choice of arcana, nature, occultism, religion
