The High Magic Handbook
$4.99
The price of a schematic varies depending on the price of the item it allows the user to craft as well as the number of times the schematic can be used. The price of a schematic is equal to 40% of the item’s market price x the number of times the schematic may be used before its magic fades. Once a schematic’s magic fades, it no longer grants feats, spheres, or a caster level for the purpose of item creation but still provides a +2 competence bonus on skill checks made to craft its associated magic item (schematics with no magical uses remaining can be purchased for 50 gp apiece). A schematic which would be crafted with 5 or more uses instead has an unlimited number of uses.
It is possible to bundle multiple schematics into a single magic item known as a folio. A folio’s cost is equal to the sum total of the costs of all schematics contained within the folio. Uses of a given schematic are not shared with other schematics in the same folio.
