Is there something I missed?Yes, they missed healing out of the list. But it's use is not mentioned anywhere else. So I think that indicates they are all use-activated (since the beads which 'function as spell-trigger items' aren't limited to 50 charges). Although I missed that last phrase about karma/summons, which cuts their price by 30% each. It's not 10 min split up all over the day. It's 1/day, lasting 10min like a spell duration. So the price reduction is for the 1/day charge, dividing the price by 5.And the 'divine caster' restriction reduces the price even more. 4200gp is cheap!Yes, I looked at that (see the 2.25 comment in the original post, which I admit is a bit obscure). But if you keep the multiplier at 1800 or 2000 it's just like the SRD formula for multiple similar abilities. (And the staff method assumes there are 50 charges).BTWMissed that summons exception before too. Just as well I worked it out <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Also, my pricing for the lesser strand was off by 1000gp somehow.SummaryKarma (divine only)+1    .7 * 2 x 15k / 5    =  4 200gp  (as ioun stone, but 1/day, divine only)    +2    .7 * 2 x 15k x 4 / 5    = 16 800gp+3    .7 * 2 x 15k x 9 / 5    = 57 800gp+4    .7 * 2 x 15k x 16 / 5    = 67 200gpSummons (divine only)gate (9th)                    .7 * 2 x 9 x 17 x 50 + 5 x 1 000 = 14 210gp        greater planar ally (8th)    .7 * 2 x 8 x 15 x 50 + 18 x 500 + 5 x 100 = 19 710gp    lesser strand:                    15 600gpstandard strand (+1 karma):      35 750gpgreater strand (+4 karma):    124 155gp    Later,Alice</blockquote>
