Adding spells to items
« on: December 06, 2015, 09:18:37 AM »
the wording for adding a spell to an item is very clear. (Use-activated or continuous = Spell level1 × caster level × 2,000 gp3)
The wording for Use-activated is also pretty clear.

So could I make an Use-activated bow that casts arrowsplit when used to attack.

if so doesn't this multiply all bow damage by 2-5x for only 66k?(If you're not crafting it.)

This question occurs more often as "Can I make a use-activated item of true strike?". The answer is that the magic item creation guidelines are just that: guidelines.

[T]hese few formulas aren’t enough to truly gauge the exact differences between items. The price of a magic item may be modified based on its actual worth. The formulas only provide a starting point.

I would think that use-activated arrowsplit is actually worth a lot more than 66,000 gp. If you're a player, you'll need to work with your DM to figure out exactly how much such an item should cost (or if it's even available at all). If you're the DM, you'll need to make that decision yourself.
