Caster basetype tiering.

Caster base type tiers don't really seem to exist. The item drops with the implicit skill scaling with item level. This can be problematic if a very powerful drop happens early or a leveling item drops late.

A Lifesprig dropped in a map may be rendered useless to level your next character.

A player may also want to craft a caster weapon to be used with other non int stats (although this is unlikely to work out since they will likely have an int requirement). In my case I was looking to stack strength on an gemling legionaire. A high level wand will require the high int, I can't get a high item level low implicit skill wand to limit int needed.

Perhaps both cases could benefit from a means of lowering implicit with a recipe at reforging station.
