Cost to get someone to cast a spell with xp component ? [Archive] - Wizards Community

Welcome
11-18-04, 06:40 AM Is there an official ruling about this ? Say I want to have a mage cast Permanency on me ; how much would he be paid for the 1000 xp it's going to cost him ?

The closest thing I've seen regarding this is that when creating a magic item, XP cost is 1/25th of the market price. Could we then say that the gp price of xp is 25-fold ?

Or is is just up to the DM ?

Or whatever your DM is house ruling.

Check the SRD, under equiptment.

Officially, spells cost:

10 gp x caster level x spell level

Plus any material component cost

Plus 5 gp / xp spent. (Caster must spend XP points, he is NOT allowed to vampire suck them out of someone else, even if they are willing).

Plus a portion of any Foci required.
