Yeah.  If it gives a numeric bonus, you're required to find an item that gives a bonus to the same thing.  Then scale it based on the bonus^2 pattern.  If this would put it over 200,000 gp, then it's an Epic item, and incurs the *10 Epic modifier.  So the +30 movement would cost you nine times what the boots of Striding and Sprining do (3*3*base).  Continuous Shield would cost you four times a Shield Ring (2*2 to 4*4 = 4 to 16 = 1 to 4).  Charged per-day items that would reasonably cover the entire day are priced as continuous.So Continuous True Strike would cost you 8,000,000 gp, slotted.Personal spells where there isn't a numeric bonus, and no existing similar item, can't be made into items.</blockquote>
