This is also expensive. Then they must either enhance the weapon with their own Creation Feats or find a Mage's guild, or independent magic-user to enhance it. Yep, more $.Once in a while, if the PCs have handled situations well and I'm feeling generous I will allow them a splurge item now and again, making something available that normally would not be available. The Black Market is unreliable but frought with adventure hooks. Try selling your PCs a cursed +3 sword and see what they do. Or potions of healing that are really invisibilty. You get the idea.I want the PCs to adventure in order to obtain the powerful magical items. If everyone can go to the Magic Store and get whatever their greedy little PC heart desires then what's next, the Level Store?</blockquote>
