Rods

Focus Rod

A focus rod replaces the need for any material component worth less than the indicated amount. It cannot replace the need for a divine focus, but they are often crafted to be divine foci in themsleves, that is they are made in the form of a holy symbol.

Lesser focus rod: moderate conjuration; CL 7th; Craft Rod, minor creation. Price 2,000 gp. Replaces any component worth 20 gp or less.

Minor focus rod: moderate conjuration; CL 7th; Craft Rod, major creation. Price 10,000 gp. Replaces any component worth 100 gp or less.

Major focus rod: moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Rod, major creation. Price 50,000 gp. Replaces any component worth 500 gp or less.

Greater focus rod: strong conjuration; CL 13th; Craft Rod, limited wish. Price 250,000 gp. Replaces any component worth 2,500 gp or less.

Ultimate focus rod: strong conjuration; CL 17th; Craft Rod, wish or miracle. Price 1,250,000 gp. Replaces any component worth 12,500 gp or less.

Staffs

Staffs recover their charges at every conjunction of moons (4 times per year). This is to offset their huge cost, and make the playing field more even with other gear, that you can sell or upgrade.

Staff Focus

A magic staff can be given the ability to replace the need for any material on one specific spell. The base price of such an enchantment is 50x the price of the material component, with a minimum of 25 gp. It only works with that specific spell, but a staff could potentially have this enchantment several times. This has no cost in xp.

All staves casting spells are assumed to have this enchantment, and thus can substitute for the material components of any spell they hold when cast by the wearer, even if not using the power of the staff to cast the spell. Even when out of charges, a staff keeps this ability.

Variable conjuration; CL variable; Craft Staff, spell it is to work for. Price 50x material component price (minimum 25 gp).

Wondrous Magic Items

Bondage Witch Bracers

These decorative neck, hand and foot ornaments (they take up both the amulet, glove, and boot slots) aid the wearer's use of magic by providing limited access to metamagic feats but do not change the spell slot of the altered spell. All the powers of the rod activate at once at the cost of one charge, and the bracers have two charges per day. This works much like a like a metamagic rod.

You can continue to use them even after the limit on daily charges wears out, but there is a price to pay; chains magically form and restrain the wearer for 1d6 x10 minutes per extra charge expended. This time is cumulative if you continue to use the bracers. Initially this is arm bondage only. If the cumulative time increases beyond one hour, the effect grows more severe according to the following table.

1 hour or less	Arm bondage	Restrains your hands behind your back and making spells with somatic components, weapons, and hand-held items impossible to use
2 hours or less	Cuffed	Cannot speak or use spells with verbal components
3 hours or less	Foot chain	Leashes your feet together on a short chain, making you entangled, but not tied in place.
4 or more hours	Hogtied	You are unable to move physically and helpless.

These effects cannot be mitigated unless the bracers are first destroyed or rendered powerless using remove curse or similar magic; this allows the effect to be negated using freedom of action or similar magic.

Lesser bondage witch bracers provide access to Silent Spell, Still Spell, and Eschew Material Components for spells of up to the third level. The standard version can affect spells of up to sixth level, and greater bondage witch bracers can affect spells of up to ninth level. Certain powerful bracers can also incorporate other metamagic effects; the cost of these is half the cost of the corresponding metamagic rod, plus half the cost of the bondage witch bracers of the same rank (lesser, standard, greater).

Lesser bondage witch bracers: faint (no school); CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, iron bands. Price 2,440 gp.

bondage witch bracers: moderate (no school); CL 11th; Craft Wondrous Item, iron bands. Price 8,440 gp.

Lesser bondage witch bracers: strong (no school); CL 17th; Craft Wondrous Item, iron bands. Price 20,000 gp.

Chain of Tought

This one-foot, slender silver chain is capable of casting lesser telepathic bond once per day. It is activated by touching an adjacent willing creature with the chain (a standard action).

Faint Divination; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, lesser telepathic bond; Price 6000 gp; Weight negligible.

Robe of 1001 Pockets

In many ways similar to a bag of holding, his robe is sewn with rows upon rows of pockets, resembling a material component pouch sewn into a robe as worn by many spellcasters. 1000 of these pockets are small; each of these can hold one diminutive item like one arrow, bolt or other ammunition, a wand, scroll, potion bottle, or most material components. Retrieving or storing an item in any of these pockets is a free action. The 1001st pocket opens the lining of the robe and allows direct access to all the stored items. This allows large objects to be stored, but storing or retrieving something through the lining of the robe is a move action. All of these items are held in a single extradimensional space, whose total capacity is 10 cu. ft. or 100 lbs.

Moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, secret chest; Price 2,200 gp; Weight 1 lb (ignored when worn).

Robe of Useful items, Greater

This is the same as the regular Robe of Useful Items, only each item in the robe recharges each day. The item thus never runs out.

Moderate transmutation, CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Items, fabricate; Price 56,000 gp; Weight 1 lb (ignored when worn).
