Maybe if someone wanted to stop newbies from using such 'high level' equipmkent is implementing another field in the playerfile called willpower or something similar based on level/attributes/race(if imped in some systems dwarves may have a harder time of using magical items). Then when an item is atempted be worn it checks to see if the items rating is > the players willpower to see if he/she can wear it. The reasoning behind this being that you must be able to control the item before it can be properly used. Just my two cents.
