Type: Item Creation
Source: Player's Handbook
You can create magic weapons, armor and shields.
Prerequisite: Caster level 5th
Benefit: You can create any magic weapon, armor, or shield whose prerequisites you meet. See About Magic Armor and About Magic Weapons.Enhancing a weapon, suit of armor, or shield takes one day for each 1,000 gp in the price of its magical features. To enhance a weapon, suit of armor, or shield, you must spend 1/25 of its features' total price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of this total price.
The weapon, armor, or shield to be enhanced must be a masterwork item that you provide. Its cost is not included in the above cost.
You can also mend a broken magic weapon, suit of armor, or shield if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the XP, half the raw materials, and half the time it would take to craft the item in the first place.
