Type: Item Creation
Source: Races of Stone
You can create rune circles, stationary magic items that hold a variety of spells and effects.
Prerequisite: Caster level 5th.
Benefit: You can create a rune circle whose prerequisites you meet (see Sample Rune Circles on page 168, Races of Stone, for prerequisites and other information on rune circles). Creating a rune circle takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its price. To create a rune circle, you must spend 1/25 of the item's price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of this price.
You can also mend a broken rune circle 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 that item in the first place. Some rune circles incur extra costs in material components or XP, as noted in their descriptions. These costs are in addition to those derived from the item's base price.
