This thick tome contains tips on health and fitness, but entwined within the words is a powerful magical effect. If anyone reads this book, which takes a total of 48 hours over a minimum of six days, he gains an inherent bonus of from +1 to +5 (depending on the type of manual) to his Constitution score. Once the book is read, the magic disappears from the pages and it becomes a normal book.
| Constitution Inherent Bonus | Price (gp) | Item Level | Cost to Create | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| gp | XP | Days | |||
| +1 | 27,500 | 16th | 1,250 | 5,100 | 3 |
| +2 | 55,000 | 18th | 2,500 | 10,200 | 5 |
| +3 | 82,500 | 20th | 3,750 | 15,300 | 8 |
| +4 | 110,000 | 21st | 5,000 | 20,400 | 10 |
| +5 | 137,500 | 22nd | 6,250 | 25,500 | 13 |
Note that because of the 5,000 XP cost for each wish or miracle spell used (one per +1 inherent bonus), the actual crafting time in days is equal to twice the cost (not the market price) divided by 25, rounded up to the nearest day.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, wish or miracle.
