When a magic item a crafter is making requires a spell to be known, can they use a magic item that can cast spells (like a scroll, wand, etc) to supplement that requirement?

More importantly, if a magic item takes more than one day to craft, does the creator need to cast the spell every day, or just at the beginning of the crafting, or at the end of the crafting period when you make the check?

Sorry to revive an old thread, but the math was bothering me. The square roots are correct, but you don't multiply them by 2000; you multiply them by 1000, then x2 for the slotless feature.

"..The easiest way to come up with a price is to compare the new item to an item that is already priced, using that price as a guide. Otherwise, use the guidelines summarized on Table: Estimating Magic Item Gold Piece Values."

"Save bonus (resistance) Bonus squared x 1,000 gp"

RAW.

So:
+1 = 1^2 (bonus squared) x 1000 (Save Bonus Multiplier) x 2 (Slotless/No space limitation feature) = 2000
+2 = 8000
+3 = 18000
etc

That is total Market Price. You pay half that for crafting.

Also, the discount of 30% or 10% can only be applied once each (for, at best, 40% off) and it comes from the Market Price. So a Tattoo of Mind and Body +1 that requires the user (person who has it on them) to be a Fighter with a skill of Heal 1 Rank = 1200g for the market price. (600g to create)

Can hook up with references if need be.
