So, I got a Maguffin I actually need to put stats to and was looking for suggestions.
Basically It's a large pool of water that's in the top of the tower that lets the wizard dude do his thing for scrying. Except he's got it tricked out. He can do basically orbital scrying with it. Then he can zoom down to specific locations. He can do the crystal ball, find a specific person thing, if he wishes, but usually uses it for remote scrying of large territories.
On top of that he stacked a few effects:
1. Detect Magic. Now, when orbital scrying is up, it just gives you HUGE magical effects. Exploding Mythals, giant evil magical clouds that turn tyrants into undead. When you zoom in, you get better detail.
2. Detect Alignment: See above, but for the four alignments.
3. Watch Mode: If he's watching for a specific person, it lets him know when they return to this plane.
4. Important People: basically a variant of Legend Lore, a little dot shows up on the map for anyone who would trigger a legend lore. It doesn't legend lore, it just says, "Hey, someone legend lore would work on is here." He has to do the legend lore himself. The dot's size determines basiclly how legendary the person is. It doesn't pick up lengeadry objects, unless they are self-aware.
5. Area Augury: The question is, who's gonna have a bad next 24 hours? Again, it only works over a wide area, but it acts as an early warning system for earthquakes, volcanos, the release of elder powers. When you zoom in, you get fine detail, including if you watch a specific commoner it'll give some indication of level of doom and how long, but it's more for watching for natural disasters.
Well, I know what it does, but I never worked out the stats. So:
1) Any suggestions on how to price this thing and what to base it on?
2) Anything you might add that I might have forgotten or you'd think was cool to add?
Figure it was made by an obsessive 26th level dude who is more the willing to drop a few wishes, who has access to an epic level druid and cleric to help him out with his "world watcher". Nothing god-level mind you, but anything up to the power level of a minor artifact is okay. Not major artifact, mind you. Need to draw the line somewhere.
