[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7027265, member: 12731"] The secret is that savings on transcribing spells isn't really a limit on Wizard power. So, if this were an item only available to Wizards that first bit I would chalk up to atmosphere but no real power. The advantage on skill checks is nice, but nothing massive. Then we come to the elephant in the room: independent spell casting. You say curiously little about how this feature is supposed to work, exactly. Let me be clear about one thing: having a way to cast two spells each round is hugely massively overpowered and unbalanced. The other benefits you mention in the same sentence, Arcane Lock and "myriad blade-like fangs" are nothing compared to this. But even before we start on this ability, is your intention perhaps to allow any spellcaster to attune to this item? Because while its initial abilities is nothing spectacular to a Wizard, the ability to prepare spells would be huge for somebody like a Sorcerer, whose main drawback is not enough known spells.
