Would there be any real problem with bending the rule that specifies that any/all magical crafting takes a minimum of one full day?
All the various Craft/Scribe/Brew feats specify only that the construction of the item takes one day for each 1000GP of its base price. A day is described as a period of 8 hours work for the crafter.
What about items whose base price is less than (significantly so in some cases) 1000GP? A CL 1 scroll of Enlarge Person for example, has a base price of 25GP. Could a wizard pump out 40 of these scrolls in one 8 hour work day?
It doesn't seem unbalancing to allow it... after all, we're talking about low level spells. I can see how it could be abused certainly (scrolls of True Strike anyone?) but overall, seems reasonable. The magic and time investment on an item like this would be so marginal that it would make sense to be able to effectively mass produce them.
Thoughts?
