Comments

Some of the more powerful items (like Ash of Invisibility or Magical Compass) are less or not boosted at all.
It does not improve effects of Unique Items (tested with Crystal of Tear)
It is not clear if the skill improves item generation. (It seems likely, however)
On satchels it reduces the accuracy penalty based on the %. So at level 5 satchels would give you a 9% accuracy penalty while the enemy would get 11%. Based on current progression it would give you no penalty at level 20 and -20% to the enemy.

This skill replaced the Barrier Proficiency as the skill in December-January 2006-2007.
Barrier Proficiency at that time became a skill, and its workings were also changed.
The replacement probably had something to do with the spell-level effect on barriers being removed between original skill design (late 2004) and reintroduction of skills (halfway 2006).
It used to have odd effects with some items, like causing Satchel of Mist to increase your accuracy instead of decrease it. forum post
