Doing the Math: Magic Item Creation:
Soo...let me get this straight. A first level effective level 1 scroll takes as long to create as a wand? Not bloodly likely. So, enjoying math as I do, I hit the calculator. Follow me on this one:
The base "day" unit in D&D is an 8 hour day. A magic item requires a time commitment of one "day" per 1000 gp in the item's base price.
8 hours = 480 minutes
480 minutes / 1000 gp = 28.8 seconds per gp (Rounded Up to 29 Seconds)
Alright, I sez to myself, it takes 28 seconds to do a gold piece's worth of work on a magic item. Let's get basic. The most basic item you can make as a spellcaster is a level 1 spell scribed onto a scroll at spellcaster level 1. This scroll would cost 25 gold pieces. (1 x 1 x 25)
29 seconds * 25 gp = 12 minutes (Rounded Down)
Wait a minute. If it takes one day (8 hours) to do 1000 gp worth, why is it taking 8 hours to scribe a scroll worth only 25 gp, which should only take 12 minutes?
