Yeah i was thinking the same thing, but captured it as the basis for the upgraded version. With some properly aged manacite, and a few key alchemical agents a proto-Ancient might be able to make an Energy Bow worthy of its name.

Mirror Move Transmutation 
Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2
 Components: V, S, M
 Casting Time: 1 action 
Range: Personal 
Target: You 
Duration: 1 minute/level Mirror move allows you to reproduce any general feat with an obvious physical effect that you observed another perform within the past 10 rounds, providing you meet the prerequisites for that feat. For example, Mialee is proficient with the shortbow but does not possess the Point Blank Shot feat. However, she can watch Soveliss perform the feat, then, using mirror move, she can mimic his Point Blank Shot feat to better attack an orc advancing on her. When the spell dissipates, Mialee can no longer access this feat (unless she later acquires it herself or recasts mirror move for the same effect). With a single casting, you may mirror move a number of feats equal to your Intelligence bonus, but always at least one. That is, a caster with an Intelligence of 10 can mirror one feat, while a caster with 18 Intelligence can mirror up to four feats with a single use of the spell. The effects of multiple castings of mirror move do not stack. Each new casting wipes out the previous one. You can mirror move the following feats: You can mirror move the following feats: Ambidexterity Combat Casting Combat Reflexes Dodge Mobility Spring Attack Exotic Weapon Proficiency Expertise Improved Disarm Improved Trip Whirlwind Attack Improved Critical Improved Initiative Improved Unarmed Strike Deflect Arrows Stunning Fist Lightning Reflexes Martial Weapon Proficiency Mounted Combat Mounted Archery Trample Ride-By Attack Spirited Charge Point Blank Shot Far Shot Precise Shot Rapid Shot Shot on the Run Power Attack Cleave Improved Bull Rush Sunder Great Cleave Quick Draw Run Shield Proficiency Simple Weapon Proficiency Two-Weapon Fighting Improved Two-Weapon Fighting Weapon Finesse Weapon Focus The DM may allow mirroring of feats from sources other than the Player’s Handbook, as long as they are feats with observable physical effects. Spellcasters who do not meet the prerequisite(s) for the feat they wish to mirror can sometimes find clever ways around this limitation. For example, Mialee has the Improved Unarmed Strike feat but a Dexterity of only 11. She casts cat’s grace on herself, receiving 2 additional Dexterity points for a 13 Dexterity. She then casts mirror move, adopting Ember’s Deflect Arrows feat. When mirror move dissipates, Mialee retains her heightened Dexterity until her cat’s grace spell ends but she loses access to Deflect Arrows. If she somehow lost the effects of cat’s grace before the end of mirror move’s duration, she would lose access to the Deflect Arrows feat. One interesting note about mirror move is that the spell conveys all the nuances of the mirrored character’s style. Using the previous example, Mialee not only gains the ability to Deflect Arrows but the arcane power results in her deflecting arrows exactly as Ember would do it. Although Ember may not be with Mialee when she cast the mirror move spell, anyone familiar with Ember’s style (for instance, a lifelong enemy or former trainer) may recognize that Mialee’s arrow deflection is actually borrowed from Ember. Anyone familiar with Ember’s defensive style should be allowed a Spot check (DC 15) to recognize the similarities. It’s worth noting that Item Creation Feats and Special Feats can not be duplicated by mirror move. Likewise, Metamagic Feats are too subtle and/or complex to be mirrored. Material Component: Any reflective surface, including highly polished shields or armor and even surfaces of water, can be used for this spell. Many spellcasters carry small mirrors with them for material components. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/sb/sb20000901a

yeah - i think in NWN they built 'em into neverending charged rods… so my caster wound up blasting EVERYTHING with his ray of frost ;p took farking FOREVER to crack open a chest or kill any monster over level 2… but giving our Wand of Arcane Mark with unlimited charges to someone like Dregs would wind up with him autographing every block, building and paving stone in Vral with sigils - just to annoy Sorvani… one of these days V really needs to get the city a 2nd powerviner for dregs to play with… ;p

Fuse with Item [Eldritch] Using your skill with magic, you absorb a magic item into your body, taking on its essence and powers. Prerequisite: Charisma 19, caster level 10th Benefit: You can absorb a magic item and make its powers inherent within you. You cannot fuse with magic weapons or armor, nor can you fuse with potions or scrolls. You can fuse with any other item. Activating or using an item that’s fused with you works the same as for a normal item. A fused wand of wall of ice allows you to cast wall of ice as a spell-like ability (using the item’s caster level) 50 times, or however many charges it had left at the time of the fusing. Bonus types do not change. A fused amulet of health +4 grants you a permanent enhancement bonus (not an inherent bonus) of +4. Fusing with an item first requires an XP cost equal to half the item’s gold-piece value. Then, you must make a Spellcraft check with DC 20 + the item’s caster level for each of the item’s separate abilities. Failure means that you cannot use that power. You may try only once per ability. Even if you are unable to use any of the powers of a fused item, the item is consumed, and the experience points lost. Once consumed, a fused item cannot be taken away from you. It does not need to be drawn or wielded, and it is not visible in any way. It takes up no space on your body, so if you have fused with an amulet you can wear another amulet with- out problems. Like all spell-like abilities, using the fused item requires no components and draws no attack of opportunity. Items that logically grant no benefit from being absorbed— mainly because their power comes from being independent of the user, such as a figurine of wondrous power or dust of tracelessness—cannot be fused. Mord’s disjunction removes the item from you, restoring it to its normal state. Intelligent Items: Fusing with an intelligent item forces you to make a Will save at the beginning of each day (DC 10 + item’s level + item’s Charisma bonus). If you succeed, you are in control for the day and can use the item’s abilities, skills, and feats (if applicable). If you fail, the item remains in control of you for the day and can use your abilities, skills, and feats. Items fused with a character cannot gain levels as described on page 63.

Im gonna say no on spellbreakers for right now , as the adventure continues to move forth I will ad them in later but for this weekend no

okey dokey - so the remaining split breaks down as follows : slaad and onaga only took 2 picks in the starting round, giving them 5 unused picks as the rest of us grabbed 7 items. the highest average value of the remaining high-value items (salted towards the highest value because we cherry-picked what we REALLY wanted/needed from the first draft) is approximately 8k… so they’re getting an extra 40k each out of the split knocking 5% off the final retail to cover kargin’s overhead, that leaves us with a final divvy of each party member getting 370,101 gold from liquidating the party treasure (with slaad and onaga receiving 410,101 as their total) (( oh, and i didn’t include selling the few healing potions in party inventory - too useful in a pinch )) pending approval from cloud, in case i missed anything and spreadsheet attached, for those that wanna snag anything off it at 95% of retail (or in case you wanna check my maths) dregnothpartytreasure.ods

Manacite refining is a process that involves smelting the raw manacite ore in a specialized mana powered crucible for 10 days. 10 pounds of Manacite ore will result in 1 pound of refined manacite. These crucible range in size from 3’ around and designed to be on a workbench to an entire cavern 200’ across and enchanted to smelt manacite. The only known cavern sized smelters are currently located within the various dwarven mountains across the planet. Powering a manacite crucible varies based on the size of the crucible and the age of the manacite ore. A typical workbench sized crucible can process 100 pounds of ore at once and has 5 cube slots, using one charge from each cube per day as it runs. At the end of the process, the molten manacite ore seems to suddenly change consistency. The refined manacite falls to the bottom of the crucible passes through it and into a reservoir underneath where it solidifies. The dross remaining in the crucible is mostly a high quality sand and is often used for glass making. Any other trace metals that were in the raw ore will solidify in clumps as it cools. These metals are predisposed to being enchanted and are highly sought after. From a 100 pound smelting of ore, you would be lucky to have an ounce of any other metal.

@DarkWulf said in Onaga Character [Notes]: probably more like what Tiamat herself can do, Taimat is a goddess. Mortal rules don’t apply.
