Hey guys,
So I have a player who wants to craft a cloak of vanishing; basically a cloak of invisibility. It is based off of the spell below (see below).
My questions are:
1. How much would it cost to make/craft this cloak?
2. Would activating the cloak be a swift action or a standard action? The spell is a swift action, but the book (Pathfinder PHB) says a standard action; page 183. under Activate Magic item.
Here is the spell as well as some info he has given me. Feel free to point out ANY issues with his reasoning; thanks!
"Cloak of Vanishing
based off of this spell
INVISIBILITY, SWIFT (Spell compendium)
Illusion (Glamer)
Level: bard 1
Components: V
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round
With a whispered syllable you complete the
spell. You notice that others look past you
as if you weren’t there.
This spell functions like invisibility (PH
245), except as noted above.
It's a limited form of invisibility, but even 1 round of invisibility can save your life tactically. I also like that it could be set off as a swift action so you could vanish on your turn and use a double move to get far far away from a bad situation. Not so good for sneaking around because it only lasts 6 seconds but like I said, in a few instances being able to vanish as a swift action could really make a difference.
Cost would be 1800 for a level 1 spell item that is set off with a command word. To make the spell last 2 rounds would actually double the price of the item.
crafting it would be a little tricky and fun, because I'd have to buy a scroll of Swift Invisibilty and hire a bard to cast it upon a cloak as part of the crafting process."
Thanks guys for all your help!!!
Im wondering myself the answer to this question?
