Haven't you guys read Origin? V is not very good at magic items and the crafting thereof. The fact that Malack and Leeky are running around with custom Staves of Houserule doesn't mean that V is capable of or even inclined towards the same.
Yes, but beyond your bog-standard +X weapon and +Y attribute clothing item to keep up with the monster manual, most other things (including spell-trigger/spell-completion items) fall under the DM's purview, particularly should the players be unable or unwilling to craft said items themselves.
