They double your 4th-level spells! Yet they're also hideously expensive. And hardly anyone ever uses them.Ioun stones that give +2 enhancement bonus to a stat are more useful than a standard stat booster (since unlike the standard item, they don't take up a body slot). But they cost twice as much, and hardly anyone ever uses them.Quaal's feather tokens are far from useless, but they see much use in the games I play it, since they're so cheap.A brooch of shielding protects from a single spell, of all the spells in all the books. It's a rather iconic spell, to be sure, but it's still a single spell. And eventually the brooch gets used up. But while I'm not sure I've seen people buy it, I've often seen people keep it rather than selling it to save up for one of the big six. Because the 750 you get from selling it isn't as valuable as the protection the brooch offers.OTOH, the 100,000 gp you get for selling a mirror of life trapping is much more valuable than what the mirror can do. So it'll get sold at first opportunity.I mean, you cannot seriously argue that price is not a factor in deciding that kind of toys and tools people get!?This is surreal. Decreasing the price on something make it more likely that the item will be sold instead of kept? What, people prefer getting less money over getting more money?</blockquote>
