WHOOPS!!!
Thanks for pointing that out. The nasty typo-demon must have visited me while I was typing the entry out, temporarily taking telepathic control of me and causing me to mistype the cost.
The actual market cost should read 2,450 gp.
Thanks Bookwyrm.

Ah! Finally. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to come in. Though I noticed Alaundo window-shopping earlier. I wonder what he thought of the Tome of Candlekeep? 
Eilinel, what did you think was funny? And do you have any requests?  Creating a 'funny' item would be an interesting challenge . . . . |

Excellent, another customer.
It always pleases me when another adventurer comes through the door looking for that particular magical item.
Anyway eilinel said -

Actually they come by horse-driven caravan, or in the case of Bookwyrm, by Interplanar E-Mail, as he said before.
Now onto the next issue -
As head-proprietor of the Magic Shop I would be delighted to display some of your more humorous wares on a shelf somewhere. Just place it here in the shop, and if you need any help working particular details about the item out, or issues of balancing need to be addressed I'll be glad to assist.

Also, I have received some emails from people outside of Candlekeep who, as guests are regular visitors to the Shop. They have put in several requests for special rings and minor magical items such as wands and the like (eilinel).
I will be trying to contribute several items for this request soon, but I also wanted to ask those of you who are regular Candlekeep residents, and who frequently visit the shop to perhaps contribute some items of your own.
I am simply ecstatic that news of my humble little shop has reached outside of the halls of Candlekeep.
Joy!!!

Here are my contribution to the shop.
Soul Reaver
+5 chaotic evil sentient greatsword
Damage:2d6 crit 17-20
Int: 12
Special: keen, extra 1d6 damage vs lawful or good, slay DC 15 vs lawful good, Level Drain DC 12. User alignment will change to CE over time.
When Cyric lost his portfolio of the dead to Kelemvor after the debacle of the Cyrinishad, a small amount of his divine essence split and mingled with the shattered remains of the sword Godsbane, the avatar form of Mask. The resulting mixture of power took material form, shaping itself into the sentient blade known as Soul Reaver. Ever since the destruction of Zhentil Keep, it has known many owners, some good, some utterly evil but all driven insane by the sword's thirst and hunger for souls.

This is great work Leona, simply a remarkable magical weapon. May I ask about how you came up with the design, it seems interesting.
Also I am curious as to what you think of the other items on display already in the shop?.

Leona, the only reason I asked about what you thought was because I like feedback from the people who visit the shop. Maybe you have some requests, or suggestions, or maybe information is your trade. What ever it is, the Sage of Perth's Magic Shop is here to assist.
Simply leave your request at the front desk, and I'll get to it as soon as I can.

This place is great for exchanging creative ideas on spells, weapons and other equipment. Most of the items displayed here are quite well balanced. In my case, when I create my own magical items, I would like to write a short piece of history to it. That is why I admire the writers of Baldur's Gate. Even a lowly +1 longsword had such a long history in the description. Of course this is easier said than done.
Anyway, I had thought of the concept of this sword for quite sometime. The special abilities and the history though, was something I came up fifteen minutes ago |

I know this is pretty basic, but sometimes a good shortsword is hard to find, especially one that does not need continuous sharpening.
If I may, alter something of this sword based on your description.
I was thinking like, since it is keen, and doesn't need sharpening,
you should make it into a keen weapon with crit 17-20. Also, not sure if dark elves use mithril.

I agree Leona, I like long backgrounds for all types of magical items, but sometimes I've got so much going on, that I can't create anything for some of the items I post. I'll try a little harder. To tell you the truth I didn't think anybody appreciated the backgrounds I created for some of the items here at the Shop.
Thanks.

I would prefer it if you sent the items via Interplanar Email (thanks again Bookwyrm) to my email address. Just look in my profile, for my email address, if everything checks out (which I believe coming from you it probably will) I will then post it here with full credit going to you for the item.
Thanks for asking Edain, I appreciate it.

If you feel you want to change some details (if you intend to use this item in your home campaign) please go right ahead. As for the items in the shop, I do intend (at some later date) to change a few details with some of the stats, but for now I'll take your suggestions under advisement.
And since you mentioned whether dark elves use mithral, I'll just say that it was my home FR campaign, and I have changed several rules for my own enjoyment. In fact I use alot of my own crafted material for my FR campaign about as much as I use official information.
(Just as an example, the Time of Troubles in my home FR campaign, ran a little longer than the official ToT and the effects were much greater).
Thanks .

That's fine Leona, if it is easier for you. Just be sure that the items are fairly balanced (if you need help some at the shop can assist you), and that most of the details are filled in.
Oh, and make sure you detail it was your creation, for credit purposes.

Another of my creation
Bracers of the Moonmaiden
This pair of beautifully crafted bracers are made of a material that looks like silver but it isn't. It is said that the bracers were forged from the first Tear of Selune to fall on Toril. They have seen many faithful of the Moonmaiden through difficult times. At the wearer's will, a pair of shimmering beams of force will spring out of the bracers.
Effect: As the 3rd level Moon Domain spell moonblade except that wearer calls forth 2 blades instead of 1. The wearer can call forth the blades as frequently as she wants so long as the total time that the blades spent in existence does not exceed 10 turns per day. Usage recharges every night at midnight. Does not function if only one bracer is worn.

Very impressive Leona.
However, do you have the MARKET PRICE for this item. All items in the shop will need to have a price so customers can see what this particular item costs. Also, are there any PREREQUISITES for this item. We will also need to know the appropriate CASTER LEVEL as well.
Thanks, and keep them coming.

| I love all the new items! Those bracers sound rather cool. Maybe if my mind will start working, I may add some items. I'll get back to you Sage if it starts working. |
May Melkor smile upon every spell you cast. |

Same with Artalis. I have no idea how to assign prices to my items as they are usually unique (aka one of its kind) and not reproducible.
Anyway, caster level for the bracers is 8. |

Great so far, Targon, but does it have any DAMAGE abilities, or special abilities that we may wish to know about?.

I am pretty sure there is a chart of listing for the pricing of magical items, but I can't remember where, and I can't look it up as I am at work at the moment, I'll check tonight when I get home. Anyway if you are both having problems just post your items here in the shop anyway, since there are several worthy sages, myself, Bookwyrm, and Edain who would probably be able to assist you in assigning prices for your items.

Yes thankyou Bookwyrm . Sometimes, due to my sagely concerns I frequently find myself adrift in a sea of absent-mindedism(???), and so therefore fail to see things that are sometimes directly underneath my nose .
Whew!!!, that's it for now.

Greetings,
Some new items have arrived, fresh from a Calimport market.

These specially crafted crossbow bolts are designed for maximum damage and maxmium accuracy. They are partially enchanted and have a series (4) of sharp metal slivers embedded in the shaft running down the length of the bolt-shaft.
When fired from a standard crossbow, the slivers pop up from the shaft and point outwards in four directions. These additional slivers form extra rows of sharp bladed edges that can tear into a target.
Damage: -
Range: -
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armour
Caster Level: 8th
Market Price: 502 gp (each)
Weight: -
Special: These sliver bolts act as +2 bolts of wounding

Onto the second item -
The Holy Justifier of Tyr
It is said the this mace was crafted by a cleric of Tyr five years ago, before a great battle to free the hamlet of Wood's Edge near Cloak Wood. The village was said to be under the thrall of an evil necromancer of Velsharoon, and a horde of orcs and undead. The necromancer had wished to experiment on the villages to create a special type of spectral undead.
However, when a passing group of Tyrian clerics arrived to visit the local shrine to Tyr, they were horrified to discover it's current state. The exact history surrounding the creation of the mace is not known outside of the most holiest of Tyrian clerical circles. What is known, is that the cleric, Valroth Kar of Tyr, spent some time alone at his temple to Tyr where he supposedly asked his god for assistance.
This may be a fanciful speculation, as nobody truly knows how Valroth acquired the great mace. The next day, the clerics, lead by Valroth Kar, the mace firmly in his grasp, lead the resistance to free the hamlet of it's undead curse. After several hours of running battles the horde was broken, the battle was won - the undead and orcs were either destroyed of incapacitated. The battle was not without it's casualities however, after the battle it was revealed that Valroth had been killed - slain in final combat with the necromancer each landing a final fatal blow on each other at the last moment.
The mace was quickly recovered by the remaining clerics who then returned to their temple where the mace was blessed and was said to be returned to Kar's temple to commerate his great deed. How it ended up at the Sage of Perth's Magic Shop is currently unknown.
Damage: 1d8+3
Melee/Ranged: Melee
Size: Medium
Market Price: 30,245 gp
Prerequisites: None as this is a unique item to the Church of Tyr
Weight: 13 lbs.
Caster Level: 13th
Special: The Holy Justifier of Tyr is an intelligent heavy mace +3 of Lawful Good alignment, with a Wisdom attribute of 18, an Intelligence attribute of 15, and a Charisma attribute of 14. It can cast heal on the wielder and one other cleric of Tyr once per day. It as functions as though it had both the Keen and Bane special abilities.

The last item for today people -
The Guardian of Pure Hearts
This chainmail suit was especially crafted by a faction of wizards whose library of knowledge and magical items deep within the Cloud Peaks was preserved from destruction by a local monastery of lawful monks. It is said that the library came under attack by a rampaging horde of Hill Giants intent on razing the library under directives from a Zhentarim agent in the area who had learnt of the library. The Zhentarim obviously had intentions on pillaging the library once the wizards were dead, or had been driven from their library hold. After the wizards discovered that an attack was coming, they put out a call to any adventures or mercenaries in the area who would be willing to help defend the library.
The monastery "The Order of the Righteous Fists" responded to the call to arms, arriving several hours before the attack began. It is said that both the wizards and the monks repulsed an attack by a combined force of hill giants, trolls and other lesser creatures, completely driving them from the mountain range and down into the area surrounding Lake Neng, where it is said that the wounded giants and trolls either drowned or fled.
The chainmail was given to the head of the Order in a show of appreciation for what the monks had done. The chainmail can only be worn by those with the purest of hearts
Armor Bonus: +4
Max Dex: +3
Check Penalty: -2
Arcane Spell Failure: 10%
Weight: 10 lbs
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Armour, Haste, Expeditious Retreat
Market Price: 23,000 gp
Caster Level: 14th
Special:
Once per day the head monk of any lawful good order wearing this armour can cast - Haste, Expeditious Retreat
The mail counts as light armour, and the chosen monk who intends to wear it must have the Light Armour Proficency to make use of it.
Also the wielder can use any of these skills without penalties - Climb, Balance, Escape Artist, Move Silently, and Tumble.
Let me know what you think for all these new items.
