I was thinking of a way to defeat an Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil and I thought of the set Seven Veils in the MIC. Each veil in that set gives you immunity to one of the 7 prismatic effects.
That would probably work, but would be fairly limited. Are you looking for a way to defeat a PC IotSV, or an NPC IotSV? Just seems like you wouldn't get much use out of the items unless there were a lot of Initiates running around.
Two words: opportunity cost.
There are a great many useful magic items, but which are the most useful? Have never seen an optimized build on any site that includes wearing 7 veils.
It seems like a handy item to have just in case you are presented with such a situation or even prismatic spells, with no IotSV around.
And the two veils we are concerned with here only cost a total of 18000 so it is not that expensive.
The reason why the veils are better than a wand of daylight for example is because you can activate them as a swfit action instead of wasting a standard action to do so.
And often times people are not going to have the exact combination of spells necessary to take down a prismatic effect prepared.
I don't see how it doesn't refute what you said. You said it is an issue of opportunity cost. I proved that the opportunity cost is not that high.
And as far as your not seeing optimized builds concerning veils just because the item has an innocuous sounding name does not make it a weak item.
