Creating Magic Items

[revshafer]

I have a first level Wizard with a staff that he is arcane bonded to...

At first level can he make his staff a magic staff? How much would it cost in gp and xp? Is this possible? If its half cost...would it be around 325 gp for 50 charges? Could you put your spellbook in there and just cast at will?

What are the options for writing scrolls?

This seems ripe for abuse, but I can't make heads or tails of how to do this.

Thanks...

You can't figure out how to abuse a mechanic... fantastic!

What do you want to do with your staff? Create a magic weapon or create a "staff of ..."?

Or do you want to use your staff like a big wand?

The item creation feats don't let you do that; so, no.

The effect on scrolls is nil. You're bonded object is a staff, not a scroll, scrolls aren't even an option.

I don't think it really is.

I don't know if Paizo is doing anything with craft rules... but staffs have a minimum caster level to make (per srd) and I'm 99% sure that 1st level is too low.

He could make it a masterwork staff, maybe.

Options for writing scrolls - yes, every wizard gets scribe scroll at level 1 and the rules are in the srd/phb.

The bonded object may be ripe for abuse... but not at level 1 I don't think.
