Horseshoes of Glory
Price 39,600 gp; Aura moderate abjuration and transmutation; CL 11th; Weight 12 lbs.
These massive horseshoes sport deadly spikes that jut from their front. Once per day on command, the rider of a mount wearing these shoes may choose to either increase the mount's size by one size increment (maximum Huge), or change its type to magical beast, as beast shape IV. In addition, while the mount is augmented in either of these two ways, it gains DR/5 chaos, evil, good, or law (selected by the rider). These horseshoes are part of a set and require all four to be worn by the same animal to properly function.
Construction Requirements
Cost 19,800 gp
Craft Wondrous Item, beastshape IV, protection from chaos/evil/good/law
Since Beastshape doesn't change a creature's type, what are these horsehoes supposed to do?
It sounds like it meant to say "change its shape to a magical beast, as beast shape IV"... but I really can't be sure.
Also, what's the duration on that?
What about the duration on the rest of the buffs, mainly the size buff, to me it seems like it would be unlimited, which seems a bit hefty for a 36k item.
I assume it is the size increase that is as beast shape IV (as it is the only spell listed in the requirements that could change the mounts size) and that the changing of type just copies the same duration.
Either way, as written it is somewhat nonsensical.
