				 Re: Penetration enhancers working on items ? 
 I know penetration items don't (didn't) affect innate abilities that weren't cast (R'lyeh's mindblast, etc), but don't really recall whether it would affect a spell _cast_ via an item.  I'd actually suspect it would work with items used via scripting to cast, but wouldn't work if it's something that's fired / swung.
