The pigments are applied by a paintbrush or equivalent bristle tipped stick. The emulsion flows from the applicator to form the desired object or creature as the artist concentrates on the desired image. One pot of marvelous pigments is sufficient to create a 125-cubic-foot object by depicting it two-dimensionally over a 25-square-foot surface.The emulsions must be applied to a surface. It takes 1 day (8 hours) minimum of work to depict an animated intelligent object or intelligent creature with the pigments. Emergent Emulsions cannot create magic items. Objects of great value depicted by the pigments —precious metals, gems, jewelry, ivory, and so on— appear to be valuable but are often made of tin, lead, paste, brass, bone, and other such inexpensive materials as long as their total value does not exceed 20,000gp. The user can create normal weapons, armor, and any other mundane item (including foodstuffs) up to this same value.Objects depicted by the emulsions use the Animated Paint Object monster rules. Their abilities are determined by size and partially according to the actual object depicted. Created creatures that already exist in the campaign world gain the Painted Creature template. Creatures that are wholly new and have no published equivalent are created using the Invented Paint Creature guidelines.The work requires a Craft(paint) check made each day against a DC 15 normally or a DC 25 to duplicate a specific individual. Progress is determined using the Craft skill rules with the item price equaling the intended creature or object's HD x 100, the DC multiplier equaling its challenge rating subracted from 25, and the material costs according to its size. One jar of Nolzur's emergent emulsions can create 20 diminutive, 4 tiny, 2 small, or 1 medium creature or object. Large sizes require 4 jars, Huge 9, Gargantuan 16, and Colossal 25.For example, a drow elf created with the Painted Creature template would use the Craft(paint) DC 15 (unless it was a specific individual). The skill check (10) multiplied by 23 (25-2) equals 230. Since the cost equals 100sp (1HD x 100), crafting time would take only one day.The items and creatures created are not inherently magical from their creation; the effect is instantaneous.Strong conjuration; CL 20th; Craft Wondrous Item, major creation, greater planar binding; Price 60,000 gp.</blockquote>
