PFS Rules for Wizard's changing their Arcane Bond

[Teremak]

I've done a bit of searching and couldn't find a specific answer to this question. According to the core rulebook, there's a section that explicitly deals with replacing a lost or damaged arcane bond (200 * Wizard Level + Mwk cost). It also says you can change to an existing magical item for the same cost.

First question, would I have to pay the masterwork cost a second time for re-bonding to an existing magical item (whatever that may be)?

Second, must I "lose" the original item or can I keep it, along with any enhancements I've placed on it, while re-bonding to a new magical item?

As best as I can tell, I can... but this amounts to being able to 'craft items' in PFS, except the crafting cost is increased by Wizard Level * 200.

Any answers would be appreciated.

While this would be a general rules question, the answer is covered in the description of the arcane bond and I quote:

"The magic properties of a bonded object, including any magic abilities added to the object, only function for the wizard who owns it. If a bonded object's owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type."

So if you replace the item with another, it loses any bonuses you may have added

"If a bonded object's owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type."

Edit: darn, beat me by 44 seconds.

Not sure how I missed that. Thanks for the heads up!
