Armor of Determination CL

[Salabrian]

What caster level does Determination Armor cast breath of life at?

Determination:

A shield or armor with this property provides the ability to fight on against seemingly impossible odds. Once per day, when the owner reaches 0 or fewer hit points, the item automatically provides a breath of life spell.

Breath of Life:

This spell cures 5d8 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +25)...

Moderate conjuration; CL 10th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, breath of life; Price +30,000 gp.

The default CL is 10, apparently. I believe you could create it at a higher level if you were making it yourself.

Ok, cool. I didn't know that magic items like armor cast at the same level they were crafted at, but I don't know why I assumed otherwise since that's the way it works for wands, scrolls, etc.

I don't know if it's universally true. For instance, a Flame Tongue sword has a crafting CL of 12, but it only projects a single 4d6 scorching ray. But in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that's what I'd use.
