do magic items effects count as spells/spell-like abilities?

thanks :D sure does!
Depends on the item, bu generally no. Just spell effects.

=0. I'm getting lost. Do you mean that the effect of a magic item (continuous or not) count as a spell effect? or that only spell effects from magic items count as spell/spell-like (like, the effect from a wand)?
Yeah I believe scrolls, pots, staves and wands would produce spell-like or spell effects but I was a bit more concerned about a sword +3 or a ring of freedom of movement for example
Sla's have no command word, somatic, verbal, or material components.
Many items have command words etc.
Continuous items are continuous so there is no need to differentiate sla or spell.
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Once an ability is in effect they act Identically regardless of Spell or SLA.

my question arose because there's a plane (The spire below Sigil) that among other things makes "spells and spell-like effects unavailable". Also psionic spell-like abilities, positive and negative energy can't be channeled, supernatural abilities don't function, access to the astral plane prohibited and divine powers annulled.
It doesn't say anything about items but I thought they reproduce spell like effects?
If spell like effects are repressed items would not work. See the antimagic field spell. :-)

Thanks, yeah that's what I thought at first but wanted to be sure. Especially since an antimagic field creates a "dead magic zone" (or used to in 3.5 while Sigil's spire worded it as limited magic trait.
Thought it would be better to ask first, thanks Golem : D
