Heart of Yog-Sothoth
Aura: strong conjuration CL 11th
Slot neck; Price 15,750
Description
This black ball of slime attaches around the wearers neck appearing as a pulsating choker. Once per day as a swift action the wearer can command the Heart of Yog-Sothoth to expand into a writhing cocoon of stringy black webs that surround the wearer in a 5 ft radius. For 11 rounds the web provides cover and protection from swarms size fine and smaller. Due to its stationary nature the wearer can not move while protected and still provokes attacks of opportunity when casting spells, but can still target creatures outside the web with no loss of line of sight as the web morphs to allow its user to fight from within. The web can be destroyed, it has hardness 10 and 55 hp. After brought to 0 up it retracts to the user and stays dormant for 24 hours.

I just wanted you forum veterans to weigh in on my creation and how I can make it more balanced. This is my first try at magic item creation so feedback is appreciated. I subtract some from the gp cost because of it not being able to move and that it can be destroyed.
Spell level x Caster level x 2000 for the base price, divide by 5 (1x per day). = 26,400gp
Arbitrary cost reduction due to difference between spell duration and item effect duration(hour to 10min to 1 min to rounds) = x.25 = 6,600
Being able to target someone outside the web is different than the description of the base spell. What about those outside targeting the item wearer? You'll want to add that part.
I'd say that maintaining total cover while simultaneously allowing attacks due to the "morphing" nature of the item might be a bit much -- especially with it's hardness and hit points.
So maybe adding something along the lines of,"The user can still target other creatures outside the sphere without loss of line of sight but becomes vulnerable to provoking attack of opportunity as normal due to the heart's morphic qualities, resuming it's protection after the action is completed"?
I meant it to just provide regular cover not total. That would definitely be too much lol
