Message: <blockquote data-quote="RUMBLETiGER" data-source="post: 5878645" data-attributes="member: 6674868">First Draft:Cobb's Teaching CorrespondenceAura/Caster Level: Faint Divination; CL 5thConstruction: Craft Wondrous Item, Amanuensis, Erase, 11,813gp*, 945 XP*, 24 days*.Weight: 2 lb (Book), - (Page)Price: 23,625gp* (Book and 5 pages)Cobb's Teaching Correspondence is a set of a book and five sheets of enchanted paper.  A mentor possesses the book, while students carry the single sheet of paper attuned to the book.  Any writing upon the single sheet or the page within the book the page is attuned to appears in both pages.  A command word spoken by either side erases the writing upon the page.  The connection between the book and pages spans any distance, as long as both are on the same plane.  *Figuring Cost: -Amanuensis is a 3rd level spell in a command word item... 3 x 5 x 1800 = 27,000gp.  Second ability is Erasing, so (1 x 5 x 1800) at 75% = 6,750.  27,000 + 6,750 = 33,750.-Since there are 5 sheets, and if I want to make each correspondence usable once per day, I'll count it as a 5 charge item.  Full price, 33,750.  Does this mean it would cost just as much if there were unlimited uses per day for each page?-Item requires specific Class to use: Usable by Wizard only, reduce by 30%.that makes 23,625gp.  First Question- ok, am I doing the math right?  This seems crazy expensive, especially since the <a href="http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/rapture-in-the-realms/items/aspect-mirror" target="_blank">Aspect Mirror</a> costs 4,000gp per mirror (so 8,000gp for 2, 20,000gp for 5) and that's a command, usable as many times as you want item based off of level 3 spell.Second Question- Should there be an added complication and cost for 5 separate pages attuned to the same book?  The objective is for the teacher to have multiple students corresponding.  Third Question- Is there anything else I'm not considering here that I should be?</blockquote>
