I am playing a Dread Necro/Healer gestalt in an upcoming game. I would like my character to have a book of evil rituals that lets me access necromancy ans spells not otherwise on my list. One idea is to simply treat it as a collection of Schemas and price accordingly. However, I would prefer to use my own spell slots, DCs, and caster level. I would also like to make the spells more "ritual" like. As such, my questions are:

1. How do I price an item that lets me cast a spell once per day or week but using my own caster level, DCs, and spell slots.

2. How would increasing the casting time, adding components, and otherwise making the spell more "ritual" like change the price, if at all?

3. Does anyone have any other ideas for what a book of evil rituals should do?

Thank you for any insights.

Have you looked into Runestaffs?

Yes, but my understanding is that Runestaves cannot cast spells not on your list. As such, I am not sure if they provide a useful price comparison.
