Glasses of Far Study
Aura Moderate Divination CL 7th
Slot Eyes; Price 39,550 gp; Weight -- lbs.
Description This pair of glasses enables the user to view her spellbooks and to study them while they are in a secure location. So long as the books are on the same plane as the wearer, they can be seen and read clearly. In addition, the wearer may turn the pages and move the books a short distance (about 25 feet at a time). These glasses only function for characters that need to prepare their spells from spellbooks.Construction
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, scrying, mage hand; Cost 19,775 gpThese are probably more expensive than they should be in an actual campaign. The pricing simply follows the guidelines. I don’t know exactly what I would drop the price to but because of their limitations I could see cutting the price in half or even more. I might go for 15k for the cost. I would have to mull it over some more.
So you leave your spell books at home, Right?
This one is a little old school and I hope someone other than me gets the reference.

It would be difficult to get both of those spells with the same character. Good thing it's just a +5 to the Spellcraft DC.
Now I'm going to have to dig through the spell lists and make an item requiring spells unique to every casting class. :)

That wouldn't really work, considering if the item creator doesn't possess the spell, it just ups the Spellcraft DC by 5.
Prankglass
Aura faint universal; CL 1st
Slot -; Price 2000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

While it functions as a normal spyglass, this item has another ability. Anyone who uses the prankglass develops a thick black ring around the eye he used for one hour. This does not impact his vision.

That's how I came up with the Blame Thrower. I was looking at the bard list and stumbled on that gem. I know it's also a wizard spell but I was looking for a bard only spell that would inspire me. I saw that and thought of Mystery Men for some reason.
That wouldn't really work, considering if the item creator doesn't possess the spell, it just ups the Spellcraft DC by 5.
Actually it'd work great. It'd likely be a very useful item, and by requiring spells from every class, it would either require quite a few people assisting during the crafting, or the craft DC would be enormous.
For example, say you had...
Grace (paladin spell), freedom of movement (cleric/ranger spell), tree shape (druid/ranger), lesser confusion (bard), charm person (bard/wizard/sorcerer) and mount (sorcerer/wizard), you could create something themed around fey, like perhaps nymphs.
To craft the item, you need a total of 6 spells, most found across different classes. If you were to try and create the item with none of those spells, the base DC would be 35 + caster level. Good luck! XD

You misunderstand me. I was saying it would not work to find spells only on one spell list with the design of making them only available to be made by one class.
Actually, I meant it the way Ashiel said. I know that there's no real way of requiring a specific class to make an item, and that's fine by me.

I have no idea what this would cost since it's not really a spell, but I had the idea and I like it too much to give up on it.
Ring of the Ranseur
Slot: Ring
This ring is embossed with a signet of a noble house, but is made of steel instead of precious metals. As a standard action, the wearer may jab his fist at an enemy beyond his reach, summoning a ranseur blade of force to attack the target. Treat this in every way as an attack with a +1 ranseur using the wearer's normal attack bonuses (2d4+1 dmaage for a Medium wearer, 1d6+1 for a Small wearer, 10 ft. reach but can not hit adjacent enemies, etc.) Because the weapon is made of force, it can hit incorporeal creatures. The wearer can not use the Ring of the Ranseur to make any iterative attacks or attacks of opportunity and can not use this ability if the hand the ring is on is wearing a gauntlet or holding any item, though the wearer can use the Ring and then make any further iterative attacks with a weapon in the other hand. If the wearer does not have the improved Unarmed Strike feat, using the Ring of the Ranseur provokes an attack of opportunity.
Is there a spell that does this? Anyone?

Indeed it would, but you'd hafta be a caster to use it - I was envisioning this more as a taser just anyone could pick up and use.

I suppose the advantage of yours is that you have the ability to make multiple attacks with it. It's basically the same price as a +2 weapon; can you imagine a character two-weapon fighting with these?
Arcane Compass
Aura Faint Divination CL 1st
Slot None; Price 1,000 gp; Weight 1 lbs.
Description This consists of a small box with a metal dial in the center in the shape of an arrow. The arrow always points north. Because this is not magnetic it works in places that standard compasses might malfunction. It may not work on planes other than the material plane if they do not have a “north” direction.
Construction Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, know direction; Cost 500 gp
Sling of Magic Stones
Aura Faint Transmutation CL 1st
Slot None; Price 750 gp; Weight 1 lbs.
Description This sling can create up to three magic stones at a time. Each stone must be used within 30 minutes otherwise the stones fade away to dust. They must be flung with the sling otherwise they fade to dust. You transmute as many as three pebbles, which can be no larger than sling bullets, so that they strike with great force when slung. If slung, treat them as sling bullets (range increment 50 feet). The spell gives them a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. The user of the stones makes a normal ranged attack. Each stone that hits deals 1d6+1 points of damage (including the spell's enhancement bonus), or 2d6+2 points against undead.
The sling has a total of 50 charges. It is favored by halflings but provides no special bonuses other than their natural inclination with their stones. After 50 uses, the sling crumbles to dust.

Description This blanket is placed over a willing animal, usually a companion or mount but it can also work on some familiars. So long as the blanket stays in place, the animal is reduced in size by one category. This makes transporting them easier.

I just realized I messed the multipliers up. It should be more expensive. I don't know if it's worth that much though. (I managed to edit the original post with the fixed price.)

I get:
Level 4 Spell * Caster Level 7 * 2000 * 1.5 (duration is originally 10min/level) [total 84,000]
+
Level 2 spell * Caster Level 3 * 2000 * 0.75 (first similar ability) * 2 (duration is originally 1min/level) [total 18,000]
+
Level 0.5 spell * Caster Level 1 * 2000 * 0.5 (second similar ability) [total 500]
=
102,500 gold
I don't think it's too much at this price. That's a huge chunk of change for a single item. That's between the price of a +7 and +8 weapon. It's a large part of the wealth of a level 12 character (unless he crafts it himself). He probably won't want to afford it until level 15 or higher though. Since it can find just about anything on the same plane, I think it's reasonable.
Oops. I got the spell level on Locate Person wrong, and was pricing them all on a Bard's caster level for some reason...
I've only been looking at the Core list of spells since that was the title of the thread. I think it should be ok to expand my horizons.
This does continue to demonstrate a problem with the item crafting rules though. We're looking at a 20% difference in cost depending on who crafts it.
A few items just for laughs.
Canned Laughter
Aura Faint Enchantment CL 1st
Slot None; Price 4,320 gp; Weight 1 lbs.
Description This small can has an easy to pop open top. The outside is painted with images consisting of flat broken pieces of hard sugar candy embedded with nuts. When opened, a spring loaded plush snake launches forth. Only those with an understanding of comedy know how to use this effectively. If the user has at least 1 rank in Perform (comedy), the magic is revealed. The target creature must make a DC 11 Will save and be within 25 feet. If he fails the save, he suffers the effects of hideous laughter. The snake can be replaced back in the can and reused. However the magic only works three times daily.
Construction Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, hideous laughter; Cost 2,160 gp
Joy Buzzer
Aura Faint Evocation CL 1st
Slot Ring; Price 5,670 gp; Weight -- lbs.
Description This small ring is very difficult to see once worn. It blends in with the wearer’s hand providing a +2 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks to hide it. Even if it’s seen, it may be something that that the victim is unaware its capability though. When the hand that bears the ring grasps another’s hand the victim feels a burst of electricity. It deals 1d6 points of electricity damage. This item works only in the hands of a comedian though so the wearer must have at least 1 rank in Perform (comedy). If the buzz is successful, the victim must make a DC 11 Will save or suffer the effects of hideous laughter.
Construction Requirements Forge Ring, shocking grasp, hideous laughter; Cost 2,835 gp
Squirting Flower
Aura Faint Conjuration CL 1st
Slot Neck; Price 4,050 gp; Weight -- lbs.
Description This is a small flower that clasps to the chest of the wearer. On command, the wearer can cause it to spray acid up to 25 feet away. This acid only deals 1d3 points of damage. It works only for those who have a fundamental understanding of what’s funny. The wearer needs at least 1 rank in Perform (comedy). The victim must make a DC 11 Will save or suffer the effects of hideous laughter.

The joker actually electrocutes a man to death in the 80's batman movie with an item very similar to the joy buzzer, only minus the hideous laughter bit. :P
Likewise, I'm 100% certain that he's used a flower that squirts acid one a couple of occasions.
He also has his Joker Gas that basically causes hideous laughter only more permanently.

When used to draw a circle (or any other enclosed shape, up to 200 5-foot squares, or a 40-foot radius circle) it's magic activates. The next few creatures (up to 30 HD in total) that step into the area must make a fortitude save (DC 22) or die. Creatures with more than 9 HD automatically succeed this save, but still count towards the HD limit.
The chalk can only be used to enclose a single connected area. The mark left by the chalk is difficult to see (Perception DC 25), but if the outline is significantly disrupted, the effect ends wasting whatever HD was left.[/b]

Yep, and use-activated or command word rather than spell trigger, so non-casters can use it just fine. And it's different from a club because you can't hit with it (well, you could I guess, but it'd be an improvised weapon - it's not really built to go clubbing people, just poking them).

A creature protected by the mask suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. It can exist comfortably in conditions between –50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit without having to make Fortitude saves. The magic of the mask also wraps the wearer in a shell of fresh air, making him immune to all harmful vapors and gases (such as cloudkill and stinking cloud effects, as well as inhaled poisons) and allowing him to breathe, even underwater or in a vacuum. A creature wearing the mask also gains resist 10 to acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic damage. The creature's equipment is likewise protected.

Nothing I have seen listed is any worse than 3.5's belt of healing. What did that cost again? like 500 gp for 4 cure light wounds? And why wouldn't you just carry 10 spares? Who needs a cleric? Nobody. And at a weight of 1 they even weight less than potions (or the same with 4 doses dropable on anyone at will).
Do boots of Greater Invisibility really cost less than a regular Ring of Invisibility? Nope, but they don't cost much more either...
Boots of the Vanished Ninja
Aura: Moderate Illusion CL: 7
Slot: Feet Price: 56,000 Weight: 1
These fine boots look to be a pair of unworn tabi ninja boots, complete with thatched souls. Upon donning these boots the person becomes invisible per Greater Invisibity until they are removed.
alternate versions: command word activated 50,400 gp; 1/day 11,200gp
(I am taking real exception to non-spellcasters being able to make wondrous items without spell components for a simple +5 modification)
Makes me want to use scorching ray to create Star-Trek style tasers. Have a stun (nonlethal) and kill (lethal) setting.It is a wand of shocking grasp, with a couple of modifications (raised to CL 5, added Merciful, changed it to 5/day).Yep, and use-activated or command word rather than spell trigger, so non-casters can use it just fine. And it's different from a club because you can't hit with it (well, you could I guess, but it'd be an improvised weapon - it's not really built to go clubbing people, just poking them).
Don't forget disintegrate for the...disintegrate setting. ^_-
