[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7235641, member: 4937"] For the duration, it might be a 'cloth like substance'. When the duration ends, I would apply the hardness of the actual substance of the item. Rules lawyering like you just engaged in the above quote would be "too much". The ruling I gave was clear in both intent and application. Trying to nit pick the text to get around it would be "too much". Whenever you abuse the wording of the spell to produce effects that are clearly not within the intent of the spell. All the applications of the spell you are using are perfectly fine and within the intention of the spell. None of them is in and of itself 'too much'. I'd be fine with any or even all of them. What's "too much" is abusing the clear intent of the spell regarding the duration of the effect - 1 day/level. The number of items you should be carrying about should be limited by the number you can stockpile during the duration of the spell. I would expect a fair application of the spell to list when each of the stock piled items 'expires'. You convenient interpretation allows you to effectively ignore the stated duration of the spell and get 'permanent duration' for free. This is clearly not the intent of the spell. If you want to stockpile more such items, you need to cast permanency on items. Anything else is "too much". [/QUOTE]
