Occasional Sage

My group is playing through RotR, and I'm playing a dwarfier-than-thou character who early on took Craft Wondrous Item. Now, in a show of faith, he's creating a traveling shrine to Golarion's dwarven pantheon. I've themed each bonus to the relevant deity (and embedded links if you're not familiar with the beings in question), but alternate ideas are always fun to hear!
I'm not sure what price to suggest to my DM for this (he'll be ghosting this thread I'm sure), and hope ya'll can come up with smart comments.
For economic and downtime reasons I'm wanting to enchant this piecemeal, perhaps one deity at a time. I expect the limited-use nature to impose the 30% cost reduction to the enchanting, though if you have an argument against that I'm willing to listen; either way, if you have a pricing recommendation please mention whether the discount is included or not.
This plain stone box with a well-made latch unfolds impossibly far, revealing nine panels of intricate engravings each depicting one of the Dwarven Gods and their associated symbols and mysteries. Precious and semiprecious stones are expertly set in place and rare metals gild with refined taste, creating an exquisite shrine in sharp contrast to the simple, utilitarian exterior.
One use per day, an ordained priest of the Dwarven pantheon (or of Torag specifically) may lead congregants in a religious service lasting at least twenty minutes. At the conclusion of the service, each congregant may receive the blessing of two of the Gods, which affects them for a number of hours equal to the creator's Caster Level.
1) Torag (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Torag)'s Planning: Gain a +5 Insight bonus on any roll whose effects are not immediate (ie not attack rolls, but Craft checks, Survival, Diplomacy negotiations, and the like).
2) Folgrit (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Folgrit)'s Care: As a swift action, take x nonlethal damage (bypassing and ignoring redirection and resistance); another congregant is healed for 2x HP. If x is at least 10, you may add a 3rd level paladin mercy (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/paladin#TOC-Mercy-Su-); if x is 20 or more, this can be a mercy of 6th level. (I thought about 30 for 9th and 40 for 12th, but that seems like too much?)
3) Forbearance of Magrim (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Magrim): Those who receive Magrim's blessing receive a stay of His judgment. Blessed congregants gain a +2 sacred bonus to saving throws; each affected congregant can forgo the remaining duration as an immediate action in exchange for 3d8+(creator's CL) healing.
4) Vengeance of Dranngvit (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Dranngvit): Choose one ranger's favored enemy, including any necessary subtype. For every 10 damage you take from these creatures (after damage reducing and redirecting effects), you gain a +1 circumstance bonus on attack and damage rolls against those creatures, to a maximum of +5. Alternatively, you may select a specific individual who has done you a grievous wrong; you gain a +5 morale bonus on all skill checks to oppose or harm that person or their interests (DM must agree you're not being a weaseling scam artist).
5) Bonded by Kols (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Kols): Once during the duration, a congregant blessed by Kols may bind all participants in a formal oath or contract (as well as yourself, if applicable) with a Mark of Justice (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/mark-of-justice). You may choose whether the Mark triggers upon violation of the word or the spirit of the agreement.
6) Trudd (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Trudd) Fortifies: Trudd's blessing grants a +2 sacred AC bonus while within 10' of another congregant, which applies only versus foes both threaten. The second congregant does not need to have selected Trudd's blessing.
7) Angradd (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Angradd)'s Tactics: Affected congregants receive a +4 insight bonus to Initiative; each affected congregant can forgo the remaining duration as a free action to negate surprise and act in a surprise round at their normal count (without the +4 bonus).
8) Bolka (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Bolka)'s Golden Smile: If affected by an ongoing spell or spell-like effect, Bolka's blessing grants you a new saving throw at the start of your turn. If the spell or effect already grants such a saving throw, gain a +2 sacred bonus to the roll.
9) Assuagence of Grundinnar (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Grundinnar): During or immediately before combat (at the DM's discretion), a congregant blessed by Grundinnar may make a Diplomacy check as a swift action (DC 30) to stop hostilities; enemies' attitudes will not change more than one step with this check regardless of the amount by which the DC is exceeded. Additionally, the congregant may use Diplomacy in normal situations to shift attitudes by three steps rather than the usual two.
