Hello all, so I need a bit of help pricing a custom magic item.

This will be a rod. (tho it really doesnt make a hoots what it is)

It will Once a day when touched to a wall create an ornate door.

This door will lead to a Mage's magnificant Mansion.


You conjure up an extradimensional dwelling that has a single entrance on the plane from which the spell was cast. The entry point looks like a faint shimmering in the air that is 4 feet wide and 8 feet high. Only those you designate may enter the mansion, and the portal is shut and made invisible behind you when you enter. You may open it again from your own side at will. Once observers have passed beyond the entrance, they are in a magnificent foyer with numerous chambers beyond. The atmosphere is clean, fresh, and warm.

You can create any floor plan you desire to the limit of the spell’s effect. The place is furnished and contains sufficient foodstuffs to serve a nine-course banquet to a dozen people per caster level. A staff of near-transparent servants (as many as two per caster level), liveried and obedient, wait upon all who enter. The servants function as unseen servant spells except that they are visible and can go anywhere in the mansion.

Since the place can be entered only through its special portal, outside conditions do not affect the mansion, nor do conditions inside it pass to the plane beyond.

However this will always be the Same Mansion.

the door lasts until the weilder touches it again to close it (from the outside only) and can not be closed if any living thing is inside.


Well thats it, in a few ways it is better then MMM 1/day, in a few ways it is WAY worse. (door remains, anyone can enter... etc)

Any help would be great.

An item that casts MMM 1/day costs about 32760 GP. Daern's Instant Fortress costs about 55000 GP. It sounds like what you want to do is somewhere in the middle... so split the difference, call it 44000 GP.
