Have access to that now.Costs 15 or 30k gold for every 300 pages to craft plus a little more for getting rid of that secret agent, "If caught destroy the documents" button.Use the Feats, Craft Wondrous Item and Scribe Scroll together to create a scroll version.It did however lead to this idea today.Permant magic item: Price plus x100 exp cost and x100 material component cost if required.Permanent rod of permanency: x100 exp cost.Since each thing permanenced has an additional cost per permanency you might be able to pre-load the rod with exp to reduce the total exp required by 1 xp per 100 xp placed in the rod.<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Permanency" target="_blank">Here's a list of spells that can be permanenced and the exp costs to do so.</a>Lowest: 500 x 100=50,000 xp investmentHighest: 4,500 x 100=450,000 xp investmentExpensive.But if you can place xp in a rod to act alongside a spell, why not just xp to act by itself?Scribe Scroll(Spell level 1 x Caster level 1) x 25=25 gold25 gold divided by 25=1 xpRod of XPSpell of "blank," costing "blank."100 xp=1 xp directed at scroll2,500 gold=25 gold directed at scroll1 scroll a day at spell level 1, caster level 1 for freeAnd what if the spells on the scroll are separate? Could you fill a paper scroll with enough space for six spells of SpL1 CsL1 in a day for free?Game balance might say no, but mechanically?And what is the idea with Silent Image being locked to a position in space?<a href="http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Silent_Image" target="_blank">Silent Image</a>Illusion (Figment)Level:    Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1Components:     V, S, FCasting time:     1 standard actionRange:     Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)Effect:    Visual figment that cannot extend beyond four 10-ft. cubes + one 10-ft. cube/level (S)Duration:    ConcentrationSaving Throw:    Will disbelief (if interacted with)Spell Resistance:     NoThis spell creates the visual illusion of an object, creature, or force, as visualized by you. The illusion does not create sound, smell, texture, or temperature. You can move the image within the limits of the size of the effect.Focus: A bit of fleece.Personal TranslationI read that as meaning the illusion can't extend beyond it's area of effect, not that's it's locked to a position in space.Carry a sword with an illusion placed on it made permanent by someone else casting Permanency or by researching your own version of the required illusion spell and the illusion will move with the sword.On Seeing Your Own IllusionsAnd while disbelieving in your own illusions is probably easy, believing in them is likely even easier. "I know it's there and I know what it looks like so let me see it."Intentionally failing your Will save.It's one of the bonuses of using such a thing. Every so often you can disbelieve in the illusion to keep it from giving you a spot check penalty.</blockquote>
