Hey,
The spell Surmount Affliction (Ultimate Magic) has been discussed a bit, mainly because of the fact that it allows you to suppress certain conditions which already stop you from casting it. My own guess would be that it was meant as a preventive spell; cast it before you know a certain condition will be cast on you. In any case, apparently it's not that great of a spell, or so people seem to think.
However, what about making it into a continuous magic item? It's value would be spell level x caster level x 2000 x 4 (because it's duration is rounds.) It's a level 2 spell, so the caster level would be 3, making it's value 2x3x4x2000 = 48000 gold.
This item (a ring, for example) would then continuously suppress one of the conditions mentioned in the spell (I guess, since it most likely wouldn't suppress all of them) continuously. Or would it? Can this be done, am I missing something?
Would 48000 gold be too low a price for basically "immunity" (not immunity since it doesn't shield you against conditions, just suppresses them) against something like fear or paralyze?

Surmount is great when you're going in to a fight you know the other guy is a spell caster. "oh you you're a dazing specialist? Not this fight", "oh you're a persistent stinking cloud build, not right now not", etc. As a continuous effect it would rock and be worth it.
