Spell Power

Spell Power enhancements increase the effectiveness of an Implement bonus when casting certain spells.

A Spell Power enchantment can only be added to an item with an Implement Bonus of at least +1. These Spell Power enchantments come in two forms - Those that affect spells of a certain School/Discipline, and those that affect spells of a certain descriptor/type. Those that affect a certain discipline require the wielder to have Spell Focus in the school or Discipline Focus in the discipline (Or be a specialist Wizard/Psion of the appropriate School/Discipline); The others require no other effort.

A Spell Power enchantment (Works for Powers too, but Power Power didn't sound right) more or less allows the Implement Bonus of the implement it's applied to ignore some of the usual restrictions in regard to spells of the appropriate sort; The Implement bonus ignores the normal Caster Level cap of a spell's effects; A +3 Devotion Holy Symbol of Pelor can allow a 9th-level Cleric to cast a Cure Light Wounds spell that heals 1d8+8 HP, ignoring the CL cap on how much Cure Light Wounds can heal, for example.

To make an Implement with a Spell Power enchantment, you have to have a Caster Level equal to at least three times the Implement bonus. When creating the Spell Power enchantment, it requires one spell of the appropriate school or descriptor of a spell level at least equal to the Implement's Implement Bonus. Thus, when creating a +3 Combustion Ring, you would need to be at least 9th level and cast a Fire spell of 3rd-level or higher as part of the item creation. The Item Creation fea required to enchant the Implement is the same as the feat required to make it in the first place; See the Magic Implement page for more details.

The Spell Power enchantment can only affect spells of a level equal to or lower than its implement bonus; Thus a +3 Combustion Ring can only affect Fire spells of 3rd level and lower.

When determining cost, those that affect a descriptor are +2 equivalent, and those that affect an entire school or discipline are +3 equivalent.

Spell Tenacity Implements

You can also have enchanted Implements that add their Implement bonus to the DC of the appropriate spells, but can affect spells no greater than their Implement bonus. These Spell Tenacity enchantments are +2 equivalent and are synergy only; They can only be applied to an implement that already possesses the appropriate Spell Power enchantments, thus you can only add Zephyrous Tenacity to a +3 Ring if it already has Zephyrous attached to it. The Tenacity enchantment subsumes the name of the appropriate enchantment; Thus Zephyrous would become Zephyrous Tenacity, not Zephyrous X of Zephyrous Tenacity. As far as spells and feats go, the requirements are the same as applying the appropriate Spell power enchantment was, apart from costs.
