[QUOTE="czak808, post: 3937294, member: 14902"] I am [U]not [/U]a RAW lawyer... but, I am a believer in a balanced game. The players, as well as the DM, must understand that even if it's allowed by rules interpretation, it may not be good for the game. The Weapon Augmentation infusions are for weapons, not wondrous items. Adding magical effects to non-associated items (DMG pg 288) can significantly increase the cost. This is why a Ring of Cold resistance 10 is 12,000gp and armor is 18,000gp (+50%). And, when you start stacking effects (DMG pg 282) the cost goes up even more. The "equivalent +1 bonus or up to 10,000 gp" I interpret as whichever is less. If it was either or, why put in the +1? 10,000gp is more than a +2 weapon or +3 armor bonus. The gp limit is there for the energy resistance, slick, silent, etc... of armors and (if allowed) an adamantine or cold-iron weapon necessity. If the infusion augmentation is greater than the bonus allowed (Personal & Lesser +1, standard +3 or Greater +5) then the infusion fails. Infusing a spell storing capacity is only +1, but it does not place the spell in the weapon. It only makes the weapon capable of storing the spell, and once used requires an outside source to replenish the spell. Making it an infinite use, command word activated, is again a significant expense. And, activating a magic item is almost always a standard action. [/QUOTE]
