The Healing Power of Art: How Magic Creation Transcends the Material Realm

A magical artifact craftsman is a skilled artisan who possesses the ability to create and imbue objects with magical properties. These craftsmen are highly sought after for their unique talents and their ability to create powerful and enchanted items. Their creations often serve various purposes, such as providing protection, enhancing abilities, or granting special abilities to the user. The process of creating magical artifacts involves a combination of craftsmanship and magic. The craftsman must have a deep understanding of the magical arts and be able to harness and channel the mystical energies required to infuse the object with magical properties. This typically involves using special tools, ingredients, and enchantments to imbue the item with specific qualities.

No, your first rationale was actually the right one. They are making magic items using "background radiation" so to speak, and anything they make is indeed subject to all the normal magic item rules like AMF and dispels.

If they re not actually magic and thus function in AMF, that actually would be worth the extra feat tax to take Master Craftman before the Wondrous Item and Arms and Armor feats, I think. A skilled mundane crafting a magic sword or belt is one thing, but documenting magical theory on scrolls, brewing potions or assembling golems is quite another.

This typically involves using special tools, ingredients, and enchantments to imbue the item with specific qualities. The materials used by a magical artifact craftsman are often important components in their creations. These materials can include rare and precious gemstones, metals, and enchantments.
