== Runecraft (Int, trained only) ==

Class skill for: Bard, Ranger, Shaman, Sorcerer
You know the Nomic language of runes, used to create magic items. This skill replaces Spellcraft. 
Ranks in this skill replace caster level as a prerequisite for any Craft magic item feat. This means that non-casters can also create magic items. They still need access to the spells needed in the creation of the item.

Adaptations:

* Identify a sorcerer spell being cast: DC 15 + spell level. 
Since sorcerers directly use runes to cast their spells, you can use this skill to identify spells cast by a sorcerer. To identify other spells, you need the knowledge (arcane) skill.

* Identify a magic item: DC 15 + item’s caster level. 
No need to cast detect magic. Using the detect magic spell gives you a +5 bonus to the check. Using identify gives a +15 bonus to the check.

* Decipher a scroll: DC 15 + spell level.

* Use a scroll: DC 15 + caster level.
You can cast a spell from a scroll even if it is not on your spell list, but only if you have a sufficient score in the required ability.

* Disable magic traps
You can use this skill to disable rune-based magic traps. A magic trap generally has a DC of 25+ the spell used to create it.
