I'm curious, how will Item Creation work with WoP? Is a WoP caster forbidden from making items anymore? Or will there be a conversion ruleset?
IE: 'If it requires this spell to make the item, then the caster must have one or more of these words combined with one or more of these words', or will each item have specific words requierd, or are we looking at WoP casters being completely out of luck making items and having to take Master Craftsman feat instead?

I would allow resonable substitution for the spell requirements. For example, making bracers of armor normaly uses the Mage Armor spell.
I would allow a wordcaster to use a properly expended word spell made of the force shield word as a substitute.
Agreed, you can always make GM calls. My question though was would there be official rules, or would it just be tossed out as a stand alone system. That always really annoyed me about WoTC, they'd throw out a system (like truenamer, or pact or warlock) and never give rules on how it impacted core things like item creation.

Agreed, except for when they'd do something worse like with Psionics where there was an entirely different chain of Item Creation feats necessary to make the items, leading to rampant feat bloat.

Ayup, that was worse.
I'd like to see something simple like a list of items already in the books and a list of words that are needed to make that item, and then any new item books having both.
