			===Unique Crafting===
			The runeforge can be used to create a single copy of a unique magic item. It takes six months to research a new item, which can require up to 40 materials to create. If the finished item requires more than 40 materials, it requires one extra season of work for every 20 extra materials. When the research is completed, the Seer is presented with a standard magic item that, as with all such items, will last for one year.
	<div style="float:right; width: 500px;"><box>'''Unique items'''<br>		<div style="float:right; width: 500px;"><box>'''Unique items'''<br>
	A unique item is one that does not already exist in the magic item lists. It is likely that such an item will need to be [[magic items#Bonded items\|bonded]], and will be a [[Magic_items#Weapons\|weapon]], [[Magic_items#Armour\|armour]], [[Magic_items#Talismans\|talisman]] or [[Magic_items#Group_Magic_Items\|group magic item]]. Magic items tend to do one thing, rather than multiple types of things, and creating an item that does more than one thing is increasingly more expensive that creating an item that does one thing well. Not every ability of a magic item is equally appropriate to every kind of item, and more powerful items may prove to be prohibitively expensive in terms of time or materials required - or flat out impossible. It is worth talking to Profound Decisions about the kind of item you wish to create so that we can work together to come up with something possible that is as close as we can get to your original idea.
