Just wondering if and how anyone has ever used the item attunement metamagic or analyze device spell. It seems like it is only good for a narrow window of adepts or magicians, respectively.

Item attunement seems at it's best for non-melee weapons (like guns for the gunslinger adept) and cars/bikes (for the driver adept). I've been trying to figure out the optimal item for an infiltration specialist to attune and nothing seems great: chameleon suit (does that even work?). Given that you can't use item attunement on magical items you can't attune your weapon focus and you can't attune items "controlled through an electronic interface" so that leaves out your commlink (too bad hacker adept).

I'd imagine the analyze device spell gets a lot more use, but it probably is just another tool in the enormous toolbox for mages. =)

Any relevant input is welcome.
