Description
An item with the caster's shield quality allows one specially prepared scribed spell to be used in combat. The scribed spell is a spell completion item (as a scroll) that does not provoke an AoO and maintains its Spell Level, Caster Level, and DC as the original spell or scroll used but counts as any type(arcane, divine, or occult) easing activation. Metamagic feats only increase the SplLvl and cost of scribed spells (traits reducing spell level or cost are useless). A wearer may scribe a spell he can normally cast onto the strap at half his usual cost up to twice per day (if he has the time) and scribing cost may be paid using gem dust, silver dust, or precious ink & the normal methods (costly material components & foci must still be provided). The item requires 24 hrs to attune to its wearer thus having someone else scribe the spell takes a day or more. Alternatively the wearer may transfer a scribed scroll onto the strap taking 10 rounds which counts against the item's uses per day. A strap can hold lesser spell levels than its range.

I don't think a flat price like Insightful Scroll Case [none] $5000, or Tablet of Arustun [none] $25000 works. Nor does a simple +1 like Spell Storing quality {comes out at minimal level and DC}.
a good little bundle - bucklers for wizarding types but NO to weapon cords(!), a little action economy, no AoOs or casting defensively, some possible cost savings and practical field components, easier activation for casters and UMD, scroll transfer, (explicitly) maintaining CL & DC. A little bundle of good stuff and clearing up trait & metamagic ambiguity<eg>.
The scribed spell should erase after successful casting (see scroll).
