Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cheiromancer" data-source="post: 3197413" data-attributes="member: 141">I think the "as though he had cast it himself" is a little vague.  Does that mean a non-spellcaster has a caster level of zero?  I assume that backlash and other costs are paid at the time of making the infusion.  How about other decisions?  Can the recipient take advantage of flexibility factors?The cost is in line with what the DMG suggests for crafting a one shot use activated item; spell level (10) x caster level (20) x 25 = 5000 gp.  One fifth the cost to develop a SP 24 spell is 4,800 gp, which is almost identical.I've sometimes thought that the cost of researching epic spells might be too cheap.  Given that arcane casters can only prepare a very finite number of spells, I don't think there is any harm in their having fairly large repertoires of epic spells.  And the costs do add up.  But if the cost of developing an epic spell is too cheap (maybe you should add 200,000 gp to it? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />) then the peerless infusion would be too cheap.  But that isn't a problem considering that you can only make one peerless infusion of a spell at a time.Although I'm not sure how that would work.  If you make a peerless infusion and give it away, what happens a year later when you try to make another?  Do you risk having the second infusion not work?  Do you automatically know if the first infusion has been consumed or not?  And could you research a nearly identical copy of the spell (for another 24000 gp) in order to be able to make a second peerless infusion?The feat also suggests a Peerless Scrivener feat, to make scrolls of epic spells.  And a whole line of Peerless Item feats, to make scrolls and rings and wondrous items.  That opens up a door that the ELH had very firmly closed; no items that reproduce epic level spells.Uneasy. A lot of questions and issues are raised by the existence of the feat.</blockquote>
