The Midnight Gambol of Erevan Ilesere, revised.

[CopperElfCleric]

Well, the other incantations have an XP cost. Just have everyone caught in the Gambol pay 100 XP.

That seems low for a epic spell. I never intended for it to be this way, but it seems most plausible.

Why tax the folks entrapped in the gambol? The tax should be on the Gambol. Or the caster.

Any way you like is fine. The point is to make the Gambol happen. As an epic spell there is no way to meet the Spellcraft DC, even if Erevan Ilesere is willing to pay the spell creation costs himself. An incantation is more lenient, literally whatever you want, and the source of power is more opaque and could be from Erevan Ilesere himself.

Just choose a cost for the incantation ritual, whatever that is, place a limitation (Midnight Gambol authorized by Erevan Ilesere), and have at it.

Maybe 25,000 worth of gp in precious stolen gems, and a spell DC of 50. (Must be stolen gems).
