The total multiplier is x1 for duration (1/2 minute), x1 for 2 uses a day, x1 for having space limitation, x3 for being Inaudible; x3 total or 5,400 GP total.The wearer’s allies would be inspired for 5 rounds total, as that is all that was imbued into the ring – the bonus 5 rounds after a bard’s performance ends is not granted through the use of an item.To create a mirror of fascinate, with an invested perform skill of 24, with a 15 round duration, usable 4 times per day, the base cost would be; 7,200 for 24 perform score x 300.  The total multiplier is x3 for duration (1 1/2 minute), x2 for 4 uses per day, x2 for no space limitation; x1 for being audible; a total of x5, or 36,000 GP total.  Note that the target’s will save would have to beat 24, the invested perform score, or be fascinated for 15 rounds.</blockquote>
