Magic Items
Cost to build
The cost of a magical item is based on several factors:
The cost of the original unenchanted item, the magical power(s) Active Points, Real Cost, Principles of Magic and, if buying from a shop - the type of shop.
Active Points
Based somewhat on KillerShrike's ideas-
Do not include the active points of the original item. If you are building an item with powers inside a power framework, you can work the active points out based on the framework-
- Multipower: Consider a MP as a single Power Construct with Active Points equal to the Pool, +10 Active Point for every slot in the Multipower
- Elemental Control: Consider it a single Power Construct with Active Points equal to the largest Power in the EC, +5 Active Points for each additional Power in the EC
- Variable Power Pool: Consider it a single Power Construct with Active Points equal to the Pool plus the Control Cost
