Hello judges, as with so many before me, keen for your insights into my submission. Many thanks for your time!
That said, I think I know three or so missteps (very SIAC, the spell requirement didn't really gel with the terran element, and quite likely my use of non-American English.)
Coins of Callidity
Aura moderate enchantment and transmutation; CL 9th
Slot – ; Price 27,000 gp; Weight – lbs.
Description
Three coins, one made from cold iron, one from silver and one from bronze, make up this set. Heads is always etched in Terran describing the metal whilst tails is either marked with the creators personal sigil, or left blank.
When placed heads flush against a metal weapon, the coins attach and bestow a special quality based upon the coin used. Attaching and detaching a coin in this fashion is a standard action. The cold iron and silver coins bestow their special qualities, respectively. The bronze coin inures the metal to corrosion, making the weapon immune to the effects of a rust monster. A weapon can only benefit from one coin at a time.
Once per day, when not used in their weaponised form, and delivered via a melee touch attack and a command word, the coins reveal their other power. The cold iron and silver coins can adhere to and bind a creature susceptible to the respective metal as per the Hold Monster spell. The bronze coin provides the same effect for humanoid aberrations.
If the effect is broken, or ends, the coin falls to the ground, landing on edge, and does not roll from where it lands. Similarly, should the coins be flipped into the air, and left to fall, the same effect occurs.
Construction Requirements
