Magical Training - Magical spellbooks and other magical training items are available that can allow a character of the proper class to learn a new skill or absorb a new power or buff. Magical Infusions can be absorbed instantly by the target. This can save much valuable time especially at higher levels when training can take quite some time. Magical infusions are particularly valuable if they contain a hard to find or lost art or spell that can then be used to learn a skill in high demand and then train others in its use.
Cost of Buying a Magical Infusions: When available these items cost around 200% of the normal item cost due to the convenience of their use. The item requires the normal time and power creation materials if any for the creator as well as an infused item of the proper type of an equal PL and efficiency for the power or ability to be cast into.
Example: If an adventurer found a known spell (PL3-32) of average value it would be worth (10c x 3 x 32) or around 1440 copper or 14 gold and 4 silver. Of course if the spell is rare then all bets are off and the spell is worth whatever someone will pay to have it.
Note: Many a fortune has been made by the discovery of a particularly valuable dusty old spell book or stone token. Possession of such a spell can also be dangerous as sometimes people will go to great length to possess it.
Cost of Creating a Magical Infusion: Magical Infusions are created by a particular artisan that differs by class (see artisan for more details) and cost around 100% of the cost of the normal item cost. The item requires the normal time and item creation materials for the creator which represent 50% of the cost of creation. The other 50% covers the time of the artisan. Creating your own infusions and selling them to casters or even empowering them yourself can be a good way to make a comfortable living at higher levels. This may account for the high retirement rate of adventurers and artisans that have attained a certain level of experience and that have access to desirable powers or high level infusions.
