New magic item type

[Starwind]

I had an idea for a gem that is enchanted and then placed onto a weapon or armor that would grant abilities as if the weapon or armor had them. For example a gem is enchanted with the Flaming Burst ability and affixed to a longsword, the longsword now functions as a +1 Flaming Burst Longsword. Only masterwork weapons and armor crafted with special slots would be able to accept these gems, Masterwork Gem-slotted quality perhaps. These gems would then be interchangable for a certain situation requiring a full-round action. What do you guys think and how would you price such a thing?

You might want to look at Artificer's Handbook by Mystic Eye Games... it includes slotted magic items like this.

I was thinking more like Diablo 2... I tend to try and not remember Fable whenever possible...

Neither, Final Fantasy 7's materia system was actually where I got the idea from.
