==Commissioning a Magic Item==

Karag has heard of carved animal figurines that are endowed with great puissance. The possessor of such an item is able to transform the figuring into an actual animal of the same type to do the owner's bidding (Figurines of Wondrous Power, OSRIC p.352). He commissions a magic-user to create a pair of opaline boars using the two tusks. The total price to commission the tusk is a base price 20,000 gp to create (taking 160 days, or 6 months, or 42,000 gp) plus 42,000 gp for a total of 62,000 gp. Each tusk reduces the base price by 10%, from 20,000 gp to 18,000 gp, and also counts as a precious material, adding +1 to the magic resource throw.

If successful, the magic-user will create two carved ivory boars. Once per day they can turn into real boars for a period of one hour. If slain in combat they are unusable for a period of one week. In addition, if Karag is the owner the boar gains the following properties, as he slew the giant boar in single combat:
*The boar may be summoned for a length of time equal to two hours, instead of one, per day.
*The boar is semi-intelligent and able to communicate with Karag via a system of grunts and squeals.
*The boar does not make morale checks.
