I guess it was the reference the the second item that threw me off, ISM is used for my last item (the geniekind spell).

Effectively, genie seal is a slot that only appeared to my knowledge in AP22: End of Eternity (beginning on p.48). I used it to stay with the same wording as the article found there.

a) thanks, I have some experience using the item template (Athasian Emporium anyone ;) )
b) I see what you mean, I used quite repetitive syllabs in two of them.

c) For that one, I worked using the binding spell description.

d) if you are refering to ins, in the first sentence I tried to explain that this is how the genies call the mortal races. Not as the Inner Sea Magic book... which I abreviated in the last item. By the way, DHB refers to Dungeoneer's Handbook.

As suggested in the Wayfinder 10 thread, I post here my items that didn’t make it. I hope the 2 tables are easy to understand.

Legacy of Sulesh the Great

Sulesh the Great, famous (or infamous, if you ask any of the genie-kind) for his knowledge of the intricacies of imposing his will upon elemental creatures, developed many items during its long career as a binder. While some of his work has already been described elsewhere(AP22 48), here are more of his creations.

This oblong pendant, crafted from brass and etched with mystic syllabs of dominance, grants its wearer a +2 to the save DC of enchantment (compulsion) spells he cast.

First, you are considered has having six more caster level for the purpose of how many Hit Dice are required to benefit of the initial saving throw. Second, the target does not benefit from reduction on the save DC regardless of which of the six methods of binding you choose.
