Then if you wanted to create a magical bastard sword that normally costs 20,000 gp, then it would only cost 15,000 gp.However you could also sell the "coupon" for 20 percent of its "face value". In that case you would get 1000 GP worth of residuum that you could apply to whatever you wanted.</blockquote>
