Torc of Black Wind, Fire & Steel

[Thurbane]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some inspiration for a magic item named the Torc of Black Wind, Fire & Steel.

Here's what I'm thinking do far:

- Black Wind 1/day: as per Gust of Wind, but all creatures in the area of effect must also make a Fort save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds
- Fire: wearer can cloak himself in flames for up to 10 rounds per day (need not be consecutive), as per the warm version of Fire Shield
- Steel: wearer gains damage reduction 1/- as long as the Torc is worn. Does not stack with other DR

...so, any ideas, pricing guides or general comments?

Cheers - T

This is what I think of when I hear black wind, fire, and steel:

Full moon light is calling me
My kigndom lies within
The mystic soul and lions heart
Brought by the talisman
The ecstasy of battle takes me
Where the falcons fly
Immortal youth was granted me
I will never die
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Pounded by the hammers
Of the giants of the world
I can see in darkness
I'm the overlord
Single combat I await
My shadow brings them fear
The spikes upon my chariot
Will grind them when they're near
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
I am an outcast on the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn
Black Wind always follows
Where my black horse rides
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born of Black wind fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of Black wind fire and steel

Indeed - that's the inspiration for the item.

per item creation rules in MIC:

Black wind looks like a reasonable 3rd level spell:
2000gp*caster level*spell level/5 (for 1per day) = 6000 gp
DR 1/- perhaps equivelent to +1 Ac = 2000 gp
--- in MIC there are dr 3/ (varies) shirts for 15k ie = +3 AC

Fire shield (2000*10*4)/5 = 16k this is too much for this power call it 8k

16k for the item- up to 32k for stacking penalties in the DMG creation rules.
