Scrolls and magic item creation


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

I know if a spell is needed to create a magic item is effectively "used"( The act of working on the item triggers the prepared spells, making them unavailable for casting during each day of the item's creation. (That is, those spell slots are expended from the caster's currently prepared spells, just as if they had been cast.))but when you are creating it and you are using a scroll to supply the spell do you need one for each day of creation?


Yes.

You must cast the spell daily during creating magical items. Each time you cast from a scroll, that spell is removed from the scroll so it won't be available the next day (you'll need another scroll tomorrow).


Yes.


Alternatively, if there is a high enough caster around who can cast the spell you may be able to pay them to cast the spell for you to create wondrous items/armor/weapons instead of using a scroll.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think another caster can assit during magic item creation.


Yes, another caster can assist, and the price listed is only 40% of what it costs to buy the same scroll, so it would be a cost-effective way to do it.


As long as you aren't creating a scroll, potion, wand, or staff (and any other spell-completion and spell-trigger items) you can just ignore the spell required by adding +5 to the DC to create the item.
