[QUOTE="herald, post: 387992, member: 1112"] I haven't found anything in the spell desription to back up what your saying, nor have found anything in the current faq about that. Mend and heal are different because thier actions not objects. Not to mention that your concept still falls flat because while you might be able to mass produce, you more than likely don't have a demand. At least a demand that would be able to meet the cost of what your doing. Where your spell falls down is simple. Your making a refined object out of nothing. There are no spells that really do that. even still, lets move on with that idea. first, its going to be a higher spell 5th level. Were talking about 7th or 8th. And your component cost is going to he higher. Now let's look into some other real world problems. Lets suppose you start cranking out breastplates just as quick as they put out rapiers in the reniassance. Pretty soon people start using this false bravado and to cause trouble, and before you know it, you could find the your product outlawed. Not to mention that the miners guild and armorer guild are going to have a real problem. Before long, they do anything to destroy your reputation, and petition to have you device destroyed or taken away. Perhaps they will even get chuches involved in going after you. Or maybe something worse will happen, the device will be stolen or confiscated by a individual who has other uses for it. (queue evil music here) Here is the thing that you have to remember. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It's true in laws of science as well as human nature. Not everytime someone tries to implement a revolutionary idea has it work. There have to be many other factors that allow it to exploit its full potential. [/QUOTE]
