Most certainly this is to make it easier for him to create items in the future.With an bonus of +7 this gives him a maket value of 4 900 Gp, and a creation cost of 2450 Gp.Adding the following restrictions,5 ranks of spellcraft required for use, -10 % Usable only by a Sorcerer, -30 % Total reduction -40 %At first glance this does not sit well with me. Can you place a skill restriction on an item that add a bonus to the same skill? Does the total reduction get applied to the market price? Or the Construction price? I have read on some posts that these reductions only apply to the Mark Price in regards to the sale of magical items and have no bearing on the construction of the item.I’ve reviewed other skill boosting items and there is always a spell involved, that in some way gives a bonus to the related skill or end use desired. I have not been able to find one for a bonus to spellcraft. Is there one that could apply? If not I do not know if this item should be allowed. I know that this item is being created solely to allow the player to make items in the future easier.</blockquote>
