You and I wouldn't get along at all.Have you even read the Magic Item Compendium? It's a good read and it would help you understand why a ruling like yours is in conflict with the ideas that spawned it.It includes such items as a 3,000 GP item that 3x a day as a swift action allows you to make your next melee attack as a touch attack instead. The Design and Development articles specifically talk about how players will ignore items that are either not useful and cheap, or useful but ridiculously overpriced. So there are a lot of useful, cheap items that were deemed to be not unbalancing, and the majority of them are under 10,000 GP - a far cry from your 30,000 GP and 132,000 GP costs, which don't come close to being reasonable.As far as your 'use-activated' cost goes, I could get a continuous Ring of Greater Invisibility for less and it would be far more unbalancing. Therefore you need to reevaluate your concept of cost.Compare it to the closest similar item: Ring of Spell Storing. You have more than doubled the base price of the regular Ring of Spell Storing on a magic item which is much more limited in function. Does this make sense? No.</blockquote>
