Shadow Gambit feat + magic items: Spells and spell-like effects


Rules Questions


My question is if magic items produce spells and spell-like effects can they be used in conjunction with the Shadow Gambit feat (similarly to Augment Summoning and the summoners summon monster spell-like ability).
1) Scrolls? (spell completion item)
2) Wands & Staffs? (spell trigger items)
3) Deck of illusions? (use activated item creating spell-like major image spell-like effect)
4) Ring of decoy? (use activated item creating a mislead [and by reference a major image] spell-like effect)

My question is regarding the Shadow Gambit feat

Shadow Gambit

Benefit: As a standard action, you can draw upon energies from the Plane of Shadow to cause an ongoing figment spell you cast to damage a foe as if the illusion were real. The illusion must be one you retain ongoing control of, such as minor image, and the target must be both visible to you and within or adjacent to the area of your illusion. Using this feat immediately ends the figment’s duration.

And spells and spell-like effects created by magic items (see Saving Throws paragraph)

Saving Throws Against Magic Item Powers

Magic items produce spells or spell-like effects. For a saving throw against a spell or spell-like effect from a magic item, the DC is 10 + the level of the spell or effect + the ability modifier of the minimum ability score needed to cast that level of spell.

So, what is the consensus here? Has a developer spoken to something about this sort of topic?

I'm pretty sure #1 thru #3 are valid as scrolls, wands, and staffs create spells, which are cast by the creature using the item. (and could be counterspelled)
