A veil iron and emerald circle pin

[Some Rogue]

>look pin
A sinuous drake made of pure veil iron curls nose-to-tail in a perfect circle. Tiny flecks of bright red eahnor shine in the drake's eye sockets. A faceted dragonfire emerald glimmers at the center of the pin, wrapped and secured by the curving spine of the drake.

Mage rechargeable mana focus (418)

Box-found from several years ago that I never got around to checking out.

Nice item, the Veil iron and it's apeal are sure to raise the price. Depending on how many charges it holds. I'd say upwards of 2m-4m Depending the buyer!

Problem being how Mana Focus works now a days and magic item use etc. Not sure it would be worth what it should be worth. I'm betting the spell failure is much higher now a days and could be quite deadly. It has been a while but If I recall didn't spell failure on that spell used to be based on how many minor elemental spell ranks you had in that spell list?

Basically first you have to have a decent amount of item use since it's a 18the level spell to even activated it. Then you have the chance of success of the mana focus actually forming based on how many minor elemental spell ranks you have.

Like the look of the item but I'm gonna say that if I am recalling how item use and Mana Focus work correctly, then the item is more a collectors item and not worth much now. :(

p.s: Someone more up today on how item use and mana focus work though please feel free to correct me.
