Den’s Mage Armour Belt
This one is one that I worked out – it maybe wrong but here goes:
I recently awarded one of my players with a Conduit Belt that bestows the Mage Armour spell effect. Basically, a nice big chunky belt with a switch and a battery (Accumulator) that powers a Mage Armour rune plate.
I figured it out like this.
| Component | Gold Cost | Gold to Create | XP to Create | Enhancement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Induction belt | 300 | 300 | 12 | - |
| Charge Socket | 200 | 200 | 8 | - |
| Light Accumulator | 250 | 250 | 10 | - |
| Basic Conduit costs | 1000 | 500 | 40 | - |
| Rune Plate with Mage Armour | 2750 | 1375 | 55 | 1 |
| Trigger | 200 | 100 | 8 | - |
| Totals | 4700 | 2725 | 133 | 1 |
The schematics cost 117.5 gp and 5 xp and the Market Price is 4700 gp. The DC to build is 20. The Mage Armour effect last five hours.
You could just as easily swap the Mage Armour Rune Plate for a Spider Climb Rune Plate to bestow spider climb for 50 minutes.
Both of these are based on a 5th level caster creating the object.

I may be wrong, but doesn’t an induction belt have to be hooked to a convergence engine?

I had a look through IKCG and found no mention of it. However, I did leave the Convergence Engine Housing out of the equation. The price of the Housing would bring it to 5000 by my reckoning.

I looked through it and found it on page 328. Under Induction Belt, it says “An induction belt… is a necessary component of any arcantrik convergence engine that directs spells onto it’s wearer.” It also adds 500 gp and 40 xp for conduiting it to the engine. Also if you look on page 337, mage armor is listed in the Arcantrik Convergence Engine Spell List entry under “Engine apells requiring an induction belt.” Hope this helps!

Sheesh, so it cost 5,500 GCs! That’s some expensive kit.
