When this infusion is cast on a magical item that behaves differently based on race, ability score, alignment, faith or class feature, that magical item responds in the best possible manner, regardless of the race, ability scores, alignment, faith or class features of the person wielding the magical item. This infusion does not allow the magical item to behave differently if skill ranks, traits or feats are a factor. It only fools the magical item into believe that the wielder's race, ability scores, alignment, faith and class features are appropriate for gaining some enhanced benefit. If the enhanced benefit requires a racial feature, class feature or other aspect that the wielder doesn't actually have to function, that particular benefit is of no use.

For example, if cast on a Holy Avenger while being wielded by a non-paladin, the sword would still function as a +5 holy cold iron longsword. It would also provide spell resistance of 5, being equal to 5 + the paladin level, which would be 0. As the Greater Dispel Magic usable once per day is based on a caster level equal to the paladin level and that level is 0, the Greater Dispel Magic would have a caster level of 0 and thus could not be cast.

This infusion is cast on the magical item itself and not the wielder of it, thus the magical item can be passed around, stolen or lost and refound with the enhanced benefit still in effect.
