This would be a custom magic item.
The existence and pricing of custom magic items are entirely up to your GM (there are guidelines provided, but your GM has the final call).
So, ask your GM.

My call would be that it can be made and it would be the same as AOMF, except that the cost would be doubled because Ioun Stones are slotless magic items, so it would be 200,000 to buy, 100,000 to make.


I am the GM, but I like this character a lot and I would like to play him someday, so I am trying to make it as RAW legal as possible. He's a kineticist which uses both ranged blasts and kinetic fists, and I am trying to find a a way to get both the +5 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls (to overcome most DR types) + flaming, agile, ecc. If you have ideas, I would be glad to hear them.

Whatever your potential plans for the NPC you need to at least think about balancing the possibility of the party gaining the item. GM fiat protecting GMPCs tends to cause hard feelings.

I am totally in favor of players using an item like that, and one of them already does. I just wanted to know if there is something RAW legal that could work.

As a general rule, you aren't supposed to stack bonuses from multiple sources like that: You either get the bonus from the amulet or bonus from the ioun stone, but not both...

As you are the GM, you could just waive the '+5' limit on the amulet as a 'house rule': This would allow your fists to be as good as any weapon as long as you are willing to spend the gold.

That seems fair, thank you all for your suggestions!
