I know it's an artifact, but lets say you were level 20 and wanted to make one. I was wondering if anyone has ever actually priced it.

base price is 441,000 with a few things left to consider: namely that it has 5 times as many charges as a regular staff (so probably 5 times the cost), the fact that it doesn't lose power when out of charges can be put down to it being an artifact or a wondrous item and not just a staff. additionally modifying the cost (now 2.205.000) are the facts that it cannot be charged normally (but is actually easier to charge) (2 times cost), its rod of absorption power doesn't actually run out (5 times cost minimum), and the fact that if you absorb too much it breaks... (maybe reduce one of those multiples by 2) so multiply that 2.2 million gp by 5 for a nice 11.025.000gp

WOW. I knew it would be a lot, but crap. ... ... ... I wonder if the magic supply depot will take a check.
I,m sure you can find a devil or demon wanted to trade a soul for it.
