08-29-07, 02:29 PM I understand how it works for a wand, you pay for the XP cost of the spell up front (IE: XP cost x50)

However, this factor is not mentioned under either eternal wand or shema. So, say I want to make a shema of "persistence" so that I can dependably make 1 spell per day persistent, what's the extra XP cost for making the item due to the spell's XP cost?

x1?
x50 like wands?
pay every time you cast?

08-29-07, 03:07 PM I think it is in the back of the ECS (am at work, books at home) but I think the creator of the wand or schema pays the XP cost like any other wand, and I think the cost is the same as a 50 charge wand to make a 2x per day wand. Not 100%, it has been a few months since I have played.

Magic of Eberron, page 122.
Single spell or infusion of up to 6th level, used once per day.
Spells or infusions with a costly material component, a costly focus, or an XP cost cannot be stored in a minor schema.

Eternal Wand
ECS, page 225.
An eternal wand holds an arcane spell of 3rd level or lower with a maximum caster level of 6.

Sounds like your item isn't possible.
