Craft Item and Shadow Conjuration

Re: Re: Craft Item and Shadow Conjuration

Good question: I had the same doubt before with using Miracle/Wish to duplicate spells to create items (if allowed, it could have made Clerics much better creators than Wizards, since no Xp cost for Miracle).

You can use miracle and wish to create magic items no prob. The sage talked about this I believe.

Basically, you'd have to cast it everyday you make the item (that would be expensive for wizards). Its the same as using a wand with a spell you don't know to do it. The difference between this and shadow spells is that mircle and wish don't emulate, its the real deal. Shadow spells emulate spells, and not perfectly at that.

Personally, though I think miracle has a much bigger restriction than wish. Deities don't just allow a cleric to do anything Probably wouldn't let them use it to make magic items, unless it was like Boccob or something.

Go read the spell before you say that. A diety is no more likely to refuse a normal miracle (ie - one which duplicates a spell) than it is to refuse any other spell. It's only the major miracles, the ones which cost XP, which the diety is likely to refuse.

Personally I'd be of a mind to simply change miracle so that it ONLY has the major miracle functions. As written it's so much better than wish (with the exception of wish's stat-boost functions) that it's ridiculous.
