An Item a day

Why is the DC for the weilder of Shades lower than that of the victim? In a case like that, it seems more practical to have the attacker give the "victim" the whip, and then antagonize him to attack the PC with it.

Pitcher of Cool Aid

Furthermore the pitcher will only serve non poisonous liquid. If the water is poisonned the pitcher will grimace and crack destroying the pitcher.

Book of Bones & Flesh
Bound in human flesh and bearing a clasp made out of bone, this skeletal spellbook is waterproof, fireproof, is lockable and can contain forty-five spells of any level. In addition, once per day its owner can use the book to cast cast Animate Dead. The book can also be used to cast Control Undead once per day, but each use permanently drains 1 hit point from the wielder. The book must be held to use its powers.

The user of the book must engrave the spells she wants in the book on its pages of bone.

Strong Necromancy; Cl 13th; Craft Wondrous Item, Animate Dead, Command Undead; Price 21,300; Weight 6 pounds.

This item was inspired by Book of Blood magic item presented in Complete Arcane.
 

Candle of Peaceful Sleep
The person that lights this candle and sleeps in comfortable surroundings (like at an inn or their home, not a campsite or in a dungeon) will achieve a state of deep slumber and can not be roused. The character wakes up after the candle has completelty melted and has been extinguished. People that have sleeping disorders or are afraid of bad dreams usually use this candle, as it offers them peaceful sleep and will not allow them to have bad dreams.

A Candle of Peaceful Sleep has an inch of height for each hour the individual wishes to sleep. Candles are usually no taller than eight inches.

The crafter of the candle must have one droplet of blood for every inch tall that it is from the individual that wishes to have a night of peaceful sleep. The blood must be mixed with the wax that is used to make the candle.

Use of this candle makes its user immune to the nightmare spell for the duration that they are asleep.

Mild Enchantment, Moderate Necromancy, CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item; sleep, waves of fatigue, Price 12,000gp.

This item was inspired by the Candle of Nightmares magic item that appears in the Ravenloft DM's Guide. The candle of Peaceful Sleep was though up by me to be protection against the Candle of Nightmares.

Dagger of missles-
This rather plain dagger had a beautiful blade with etchings of hawks hunting engraved upon it. There are two white gems, one on each side, just below the blade. Twice per day, by pressing one of the gems, the wielder can invoke a first level magic missle spell. The missles appear as hawks or falcons streaking toward their target but are otherwise identical to the normal spell.
 

Faire Bombs

Faire Bombs
This invention was created by a druid named Jalis who was plagued by a group of kobold sorcerers who knew invisibility. He created faire bombs to counter there ability to sneak around invisible. The bomb is made of some holly berries wrapped in oak leaves, glued together by egg whites. When the bomb strikes a hard surface all creatures and items within 5' glow as per faire fire.

Caster level: 1st
Prerequisites: craft wondrous items, faire fire
cost: 50gp (25gp to make, 2xp)
 

Lab Bottle

A must for the wizard on the go! This fully functional labratory contains a workspace that is 8x15 inches on the outside feet, inside. When created the Lab contains sufficeint materials an apperatus to craft items. There is only room for one person. The pure force used to create the bottle means that it is practically indistructable, as long as the stopper is in place. The labratory removes the need for food, and reduces sleep to 2 hours per day. When you come out you are as hungry and thirsty as you were before going in. The bottle allows crafters to fully concentrate and reduces the amount of crafting time needed by 25% (with no effect on costs.)

When the command word is spoken the wizard shrinks to 1/12 his size and is sucked into the bottle, with a second word returning him to normal. It is nearly impossible to see outside the bottle as vison is limited to 3 feet in good light. The owner may only transport 50 lbs of material with him into the bottle. With all of it being pushed out again when he leaves. The material added to the bottle during creation remains.

Costs (Mostly arbitrary) 3K( magical Labratory) + 2.5k Sustenance + constant shrink item 3x5x2000 =35,000 gp
cost to create 17500gp + 1400 xp
 

The sample taker

This chunk of what appears to be clear crystal can be pulled apart if the proper command words are spoken. It can then be placed around a small item (no larger than 3 inches by 2 inches) and the same command word will reform it. It creates basically a stasis capsule around the item, making it immune to the ravages of time, and nearly indestructable. Perfect for the wizard who needs rare or fragile spell components.
