Basically, I want to create a staff of power (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/staves/staff-of-power), but with different spells in it. So I figure that the best thing to do is just figure out the price as though the default staff of power didn't have any special abilities, and the difference will be what I tack on to the cost of my custom staff. Following these guidelines (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/magicItems/magicItemCreation.html), however, I feel like I might have made an error somewhere. I get the following cost totals for each spell:
Globe of invulnerability: 18000 (6*15*400/2)
Hold monster: 11250 (5*15*300/2)
Cone of cold: 7500 (5*15*200/2)
Wall of force: 7500 (5*15*200/2)
Ray of enfeeblement (heightened): 15000 (5*15*200)
Lightning bolt (heightened): 15000 (5*15*200)
Fireball (heightened): 15000 (5*15*200)
Continual flame: 8500 (thanks to the material component, 2*15*200+50*50)
Levitate: 6000 (2*15*200)
Magic missile: 3000 (1*15*200)
That totals 106,750, with the actual cost to create being 117,500, a difference of only 10,750. Which seems odd, very odd, so I figured I'd double check to see if I went wrong anywhere?
