A template, or more precisely a spellcraft template, shows what items you will use, combined with the way you are planning to spellcraft your items to cap as many skills/stats/resists as possible. An example of this for a scout is:

There is a good spellcraft calculator (where you can input items you have or want to work out what other stats you need to spellcraft onto your armour) for ToA here

Hope this all helps :)

Thank you. hope you didn't have to write that all out :p
Don't worry, he didn't :)

Most spellcrafting templates you see are created using tools like Kort's Spellcrafting Calculator: http://sc.aod.net. This is a tool that lets you play about with different configurations of items and does the hard work of adding up all the stats for you. Then the tool can produce a report of your template and the materials needed to make it.

Crafted items have a certain number of imbue points depending on the quality of the item and how powerful it is. The more imbue points something has, the stronger the bonuses it can have are. You can spend more imbue points on something than it actually has and this is called overcharging. When you do this it has a chance of blowing up and killing the spellcrafter - your crafted item and all the gems will also be destroyed.
For example an af102 breastplate at 99% quality has 28 imbue points. If all the gems you're going to put into it add up to 28 points or less then there is no chance of an explosion. If you put in 32 imbue points worth of bonuses then there's a chance of up to 88% that it will blow up (the actual chance depnds on a number of things such as quality of the gems).

Each armor part/weapon/shield etc. (craftable item) have so called "imbue points", points that you can use to put some magical stuff on your armor/weapon/shield. A lvl 51 item that has a 99% quality has 28 imbue points, most items can be overcharged by around 20-30% (meaning you are using 20-30% more imbue points than you actually have, like 33 imbue points). A legendary spellcrafter can easily spellcraft items with overcharge (more imbue points used than your item actually has) but lower skilled spellcrafters won't do that cause there is a big chance that your item will blow up (destroyed).

//nerf Chretien posting it first :p

Never blown up at 5.5 point overcharge myself, and I SC with an average quality of 98.5% or higher. This is on 99 qual / MP items tho. Lvl 51. (dunno if that matters)

The change of "BOOM" is calculated by the amount of overcharge points, quality of gems, quality of item and level of the item. I've heard some people have blowed items up because they were used, no idea does it matter though. 5.5 overcharge on lvl51 item by using 99% gems is basically 100% safe.

If it's a 99% or MP item.
