(if I have only 1 wizard)
It's actually Craft Magical ARMS and ARMOR feat, so you will need to have npcs with skill points in BOTH craft armor and craft weapon. (You can have the crafting skills spread across different NPCs). Just so we're clear, crafting and enchanting are two different things. Crafting only creates a base weapon or base armor (even those made from exotic materials). Enchanting then turns that base item into a magical item. Don't forget to have at least ONE NPC with a high craft alchemy skill. Enchanting an item requires magical essences and most of the essences actually have to be distilled from another item.

The Craft Magical Arms and armor only creates weapons and armor (including shields). To create other magical items, like rings, boots, belts and cloaks for example, you will need to ALSO have a character with the Create Wondrous items feat.

Note that it's unlikely that a specific Spellcaster is going to be able to create Every item. Some items require specific spells that are either Divine or Arcane in nature - so no single spellcaster will be able to create every item. Sand for example can not cast conjuration spells - not even from a scroll - he's a specialist mage and conjuration is his prohibited school. Qara has a limited spell repertoire. Elanee is a druid and doesn't have access to all Clerical spells and Zhaeve is purely clerical and doesn't have access to some druidical spells. Although wands, scrolls and certain items can be used in some cases, the effective caster level of spells from some of those items will NOT be sufficiently high enough to satisfy the caster level requirements for certain items.

Hope that helps.
