2. Determine the minimum Caster Level
3. Turn to page 285 in your 3.5 DMG.
4. Do the math.

If you can't find any other method of pricing then you start by using caster level x spell level x 2000 as a BASE price and make adjustments thereafter.

Never use this for a skill adjuster, save adjuster, armor class, any armor or weapon enchantment.

5. look at the cost of items that do similar things if available.
6. just because the math tells you it costs X amount does not mean a DM must allow anything obviously game-breaking. remember it is an "estimation" mechanic of the game and not a "calculation" mechanic of the game.
