It’s Canon Now: Disassembling Magic Items
|It’s possible to disassemble magic items into their constituent parts to ameliorate the costs associated with other magical crafting.
- If you have the crafting feat for a certain type of magic item (Brew Potion for potions, Craft Wand for wands), you can disassemble a magic item of the type into its constituent parts.
- If you disassemble a working magic item, you get back 50% of its manufacture cost in usable, ensorcell-able materials.
- If you disassemble a broken magic item, that volume of usable materials drops to 10%
- It takes one day to per 10000 of recoverable materials to disassemble magic items.
- Funds generated in this manner can only be used for costs associated with producing other magic items.
Example: Bardos wants to disassemble a +2 Ring of Protection to use the constituent parts for another project. He has Forge Ring as a crafting feat, so no problem. A +2 RoP costs 4000 gp to make, so after a day’s work Bardos has 2000 gp worth of magical material that he can use to offset the costs of his other magical crafting project.
