I am trying to design an enchanted item that would work like Dr. Who's ID. It would look like whatever official badge/ ID he said it is. Since I look at it as a forged set of papers I was wondering if an enchanted item could be made to give someone access to a stunt (in this case the forgery stunt for deceit) a number of times a day like a regular enchanted item. How powerful (i.e. # of shifts) would a spell have to be to equate to a stunt? Or would there be another way to do it better?

In the case of his Psychic Paper, I think that would be a Thaumaturgic Deceit check, or Craft(Forgery). Something along those lines. Such instead of an Aspect, it would be a Deceit check of 6 (or whatever you put into it).
Someone with Psychic Resistance can pay a Fate Point to Invoke the pertinent Aspect and get either a bonus or an automatic success at the roll.
If you wanted, you could make it a Thaumaturgic Maneuver to place the Aspect "My Papers Are In Order" which would be contested by the opponent's Discipline/whatever. That would just be as strong as the shifts you put into it (but you'd want no fewer than 3 shifts).

Dr Who psychic paper would just be a straight thaumaturgy roll replacement, you replace a deceit roll with the power of the enchanted items and you can do this as many times a session as you have uses a session.

... and you can do this as many times a session as you have uses a session.
Remember, you can spent 1 mental stress to activate an enchanted item again, if it's uses have been exceeded.

Thanks, the deciet check eqal to lore roll sounds about right.

Their Lore RANK, not ROLL. Enchanted items have a static effect size equal to the creator's Lore score + whatever increases from extra slots, specializations, etc.

Right. You don't roll the dice with magic results, such as those from Enchanted Items or Thaumaturgy.
