Another "our GM runs too many incorporeal creatures against us, so I'll just make this to deal with them" item...

Wha-?
Congrats on making a butterfly themed item that doesn't make em roll my eyes you might even make my keep list.
Just because you have a legal item as part of your description does not mean you get a pass on the other item, which is not legal for the contest.
Why are eye slot items usually so boring? I think a lot of them never go beyond obvious ideas like bonuses to vision or ability to see invisible creatures, etc.
I'd love to be proven wrong on this one.
Unformatted camping item
Vs.
Item that requires you to mutilate yourself to use it.
Fine. Mutilation wins this time...

Heaven vs. Hell!
Sorry Satan, Heaven's formatting is better.
typos are funny, "smells like fireball"
I don't know about you guys, but for me, using the word "Victim" instead of "Target" is a red flag.
Victim is way more fun though.
"Include ALL the Backstory!" versus "Unformatted item from 3.5e". Hard choice.
I don't know about you guys, but for me, using the word "Victim" instead of "Target" is a red flag.Victim is way more fun though.
And probably more honest.

This is true. I guess if "Victim" or "Victims" is used in the first descriptive paragraph, that's okay. But I don't like my crunchy rules text having too many flowery words in it.
Two items, well written, somewhat but not remarkably creative, formatting and math adds up... and I just don't actually like either of them.
I REALLY like your template. It's nice. It's easy to read. It's intuitive.
However, that template, it just is NOT Pathfinder, at all.
And while, like I said, I like it. It isn't pathfinder, and no amount of "Good but different" will fix the fact that you broke a RULE OF THE CONTEST.

There are quite a few great item ideas that unfortunately don't follow the proper template.

Interesting description and history, though that's a lot. Oh, silly me, I must have missed the mechanics in that read-through.
*reads again*
Wait.
*reads again*
No... that can't be...
*reads again*
Sigh. What a lovely, costly backstory.

Wait, is that magic weapon literally just 200 words of backstory? It's really just the basic weapon described in the first sentence?
EDIT: Ender, I hope you and I are describing the same item. ;)
The... item isn't a potion. How are you 'imbibing' it? I am so confused.
EDIT: wait, the item's name states it's in a vial. That doesn't make it any clearer how this works. It is not a thing you can drink.
Pretty sure that grouping of paper and leather put together gives THAT already...::sigh::

I think i'll autopass on the racist item. And for all future racist items: No, bad, don't do that.
Not normally inclined to post on this thread but...
I was eating my lunch when I read that! how rude...
Apparently, a lot of spellcasters are having trouble with their spellbooks this year.
Wow. First four pairs of the morning, and all of them are correctly formatted and some of them are actually fairly good. This can't last.
Oh, its on now, put on Rage Against the Machine to help with the snark.....

Why are all these powerful weapons so poorly maintained? Any fighter worth his class levels would be appalled.
Number of words is a prime number with a prime number caster level vs. item with the same number of words also with a prime caster level.
And neither makes a yu-gi-oh! reference... pitty. Was hoping to reminisce.
I think my brain is waking up now. Taking longer than normal without that coffee.
