So you're treating the item level of the fusion seal and the level of the fusion itself as two separate things?

That doesn't sound like a RAW answer - the RAW use the words "item level" throughout, and don't seem to make that distinction. However, I need a practical answer more than I need an official one, so that's fine.

Therefore, practically speaking, the Called seals everyone bought at level 1 would be worthless the instant you got a level 2 weapon, and you'd have to buy a higher seal level. That's why you'd get a 10th level Holy seal in the first place - so it can be applied to your level 8, 9, and 10 weapons. Yes?

However, it also implies that Vorpal and Holy for a 10th level weapon cost the same, with the only difference being the number of additional fusions that can be used. This seems weird.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the RAW say that you can only attach a single fusion (seal or otherwise) to any given weapon, and that said fusion has to be the exact same level as the weapon.

I'm getting this from these two lines: "A fusion seal affects only weapons of a given level or less, as noted in parentheses after the name of the fusion seal. For example, a holy fusion seal that could be applied to any weapon of 10th level or lower would be written holy fusion seal (10th)." (pg 191) Holy is naturally a second level fusion. So now fusion seals A) have an item level of their own, chosen at creation, and B) can only apply to weapons with a level equal to or LESS than their own level.

But on the next page, under Multiple Fusions and Multiple Targets, the text reads "You can place multiple fusions on the same weapon, but only if the weapon's item level is equal to or greater than the combined total of all the fusion's item levels." (pg 192) So now C) fusions can only affect weapons with a level equal to or GREATER than their own level.

Taken all together, our 10th level holy seal can only be applied to any weapon 10th level or lower, but can only affect a weapon 10th level or higher. Therefore, we can only attach it to a 10th level weapon, and we can only attach the one seal. There is no possibility for multiple seals, and whenever you get a higher-level item you have to throw out your old seals and buy a new one of the same level. If I want to attach Called to my 20th level weapon, it costs me 135,000 credits, and I certainly can't attach Vorpal as well.

This can't be what Pazio MEANT. It's just what they SAID. So what do I do?

Dear Pazio,

I would like to subscribe to the ongoing Starfinder Adventure Path, but I need to know what shipping will cost. Each item is $22.99, yes? So if I ask to start with Part 1, then my first shipment will cost ~$46. Is there an additional shipping cost? If so, what is it? I live in Utah, USA.
