[B][SIZE="4"]IMPLEMENTS[/SIZE][/B] [B]Creation: [/B]For a creature to create a magic implement, it must know the Craft Magic Implement ritual. Procedures for crafting implements vary according to the type of implement, but can include bejewelling, gilding, a vigil, washing, etc. The basic cost for creating a magic implement is 5,000 gp times the square of the enhancement bonus. It requires two weeks per point of enhancement bonus, and it requires one procedure per point of enhancement bonus. To this add the time, money, etc. of any powers. The basic ingredient required to make a magic implement is the heart of a wizard or cleric of a level no lower than twice the enhancement bonus. [B]Identifying Magic Implements: [/B]The easiest way to identify magic a magic implement is to use it. [B]Use: [/B]Typical implements just need to be wielded when casting spells. Holy symbols are an exception- you cannot use the holy symbol of another deity. However, you can perform a ritual requiring one day and 100 gp in ritual components to transfer the enchantment of a holy symbol to another symbol of your deity, although the base symbol used must be at least as valuable as the one you are transferring the enchantment from. Most of the time, an implement's bonus applies to attacks and damage, although there are exceptions; 25% of magic implements apply their bonus only to attack or damage. [B][SIZE="3"]IMPLEMENT TYPES[/SIZE][/B] When generating magic implements, the following charts will determine exactly what is found. Note that the predominant type of implement is the holy symbol; this is because of the fact that clerics use only one type of implement, while wizards use all the rest.
