I have loved the Orb of Storms ever since i first read about it. Then i got curious...48,000 gp is really expensive, and i was still willing to buy it for that much cause the other effects are pretty cool too, but it got me thinking how much an orb would be that JUST had storm of vengeance once per month on it like the orb of storms?
Please correct me on any of this if i'm wrong. All i had to go on was http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/creatingMagicItems.htm
so we have caster level x spell level x 2000 for an item of continuas or use activated item
17 (caster) x 9 (spell) x 2000 = 306 000
then the special is that it is only usuable every so often
reducing the price by (divide by [5 divided by charges per day])
meaning that 5 charges a day would leave it at that horrible price
one charge a day would make it 61 200
but this is where i start to do things that i'm not sure about... like the orb of storms has the vengeance once a month, which i assumed is once every 30 days
making the formula look like this 306000 / [5 / 0.0333] = 2040
.. wait... thats not right at all... ugh... well maybe it is seeing as its part of an item that can do two other spells.... one constantly without ending and another once per day
well maybe a better way would be once a week which ends up being
306000/35 = 8742gp
this method of creating items seems atad... broken... i think once a week is a little too often for a 9000gp item that does storm of vengeance.
your guys inputs or corrections!
