They suffer a -3 morale penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks.Material Component: Three TearsNow, there are two ways to do this, it can be either a wand of Wave of Grief, or any item with 50 charges of this spell, or a command-word activated item such as a ring or wondrous item. The price of the wand would be 750*3*2= 4500 gp. But since you asked about the CL of the item, I'm assuming that your player wants an item that has unlimited charges, usable from 1-3 times per day. I'll give you the price for each type. i really think you should determine the CL by yourself, or take the list of Wondrous Items in the DMG and scan for equivalent items that are command activated.For starters, according to Table 7-33 in the DMG, it would be a command word activated item, so it would use the following base price:Spell Level*caster level*1800 gpthis becomes: 2*3*1800= 10800gp.But wait, now that that's done you have to check how many charges per day you want it to have. It says the following:Base Price Adjustment:  Divide by (5 divided by charges per day)So, I'll give you the price of items with up to 5 charges per day:Base Price: 1 charge/day: 10800/(5/1)= 2160 gp2 charges/day: 10800/(5/2)= 4320 gp3 charges/day: 10800/(5/3)= 6480 gp4 charges/day: 10800/(5/4)= 8640 gp5 charges/day: 10800/(5/5)= 10800 gpetc.etc..etc...Remember that this is the base price, but if he wants to create it, he must spend only half of the base priceand 1/25 of the base price in XP, hence they would be (1 charge/day)1080 gp and 86.4 XP, (2 charges/day)2160 gp and 172.8 XP, (3 charges/day)3240 gp and 259.2 XP, (4 charges/day) 4320 gp and 345.6 XP, and (5 charges/day) 5400 gp and 432 XP.For the caster level, I would do it as a multiple of two or three, it's up to you. For example:1 charge/day: CL 3rd (the minimum for casting the spell)2 charges/day: CL 4th or 6th 3 charges/day: CL 6th or 9th4 charges/day: CL 8th or 12th5 charges/day: CL 10th or 15thThe only level dependant features are the range and duration. The only thing that kind of worries me is that it would be a kind of low Saving throw DC, only 13, since according to the DMG you should use the Spell level + the lowest possible ability score bonus necessary to cast the spell, or 2 + 1, which isn't very high at all. Maybe you could alter the DC of the item, and for every 500 or 1000 gp added in the creation (not part of the base price)of the item, you could increase the save DC of the saving throw. For example, if it were to have 5 charges per day, and you wanted it to have a save DC of 18, it would have a market price of 15,800 gp. Which I find to be very reasonable. Of course, the restriction to increasing the item's DC would have to be the creator's ability bonus. Hence, a 15th level caster could only create the item with a Save DC of 17. This is strictly House Rules territory, but I would stick with it because it seems pretty solid to me. It's not that expensive, and it isn't broken like some other items I've seen. <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=":)" /> Glad to be of service,Branok.</blockquote>
