Quick question on magic item creation costs:
Say you want to enchant a circlet/headband so that a wizard can use it to cast spells similar to how a staff works.
One of the rules states that to enchant the item with an additional power double the cost. Does this apply to spell like effects? For example, being able to cast wall of force and fireball once per day.
There is another rule that talks about multi use items (I can't remember the exact term) that talks about how to calculate these items - take the cost of the most powerful ability, then add three quarters of the next, then add half of the cost of any remaining abilities. Is this JUST for staffs, or for more items? It also uses the term 'similar abilities' like those of most staves - what is a similar ability? Different spells like the staff of power and staff of the magi?
Any help appreciated,
