Invoking the name of Rod as you sit beneath his holy symbol and read a brain-enhancing tome, you grant yourself superhuman creativity and magical competence.
This spell skirts the line between mundane and epic; though not an epic spell itself, it can enable you to cast epic spells that would otherwise be far beyond your reach.
For the duration of this spell's effect, you (or your target) gain an inherent bonus equal to twice your caster level on all Craft checks, as well as on Spellcraft checks made to add new spells to your spellbook or to develop and to cast epic spells. In addition, you gain a +4 competence bonus to your caster level for all spells you cast belonging to the conjuration or transmutation schools (other than Rod's boon), and you gain a +2 competence bonus to your caster level for spells belonging to the evocation and necromancy schools. Furthermore, you can create things more quickly and efficiently than normal; while you are under this spell's effect, each day that you spend working on a magic item or epic spell is counted as two days towards completing that item or spell, and your gp and XP expenditures are reduced by 25% plus 0.5% per caster level (to a maximum of an additional 15% reduction for a total 40% reduction at level 30). This benefit does not allow you to reduce the cost of an expensive material component or focus for any spell (including Rod's boon or permanency cast on Rod's boon), nor does it allow you to reduce the XP component of a spell that you are casting (including Rod's boon or permanency cast on Rod's boon). Even with an active Rod's boon, you must still have the appropriate item creation feat(s) and meet the other relevant prerequisites (including knowledge and/or preparation of the spells to be cast) in order to create a magic item, your caster level must be 21 or higher in order to create or cast an epic spell, and you must have a spellbook as a class feature in order to add spells to your spellbook.
You can only cast this spell on a creature other than yourself if your caster level is at least 24. If you do, the benefits that creature gains from the spell are still based on your caster level.
If your caster level is at least 26, you can use permanency to make this spell's effects permanent on yourself (you can do so for another creature if your caster level is at least 28). Either way, doing so costs 15,000 XP.
Though this spell refers to Rod, Slavic god of creation, you may substitute whatever god is most appropriate for your campaign. Change the name of the spell accordingly. Whichever deity you choose to associate this spell with, it is only available to worshippers of that deity.
Material Component: A tome of clear thought enchanted to provide at least a +4 inherent bonus to Intelligence, which must be read from cover to cover within the 24-hour casting time, and whose magic is superseded and consumed by the magic of the spell.
Focus: A silver holy symbol of Rod worth 1,000 gp. For a cleric or druid, this holy symbol can be the same divine focus used to cast your other spells, but it must be made of silver and cost at least 1,000 gp in order to cast Rod's boon.
XP Cost: 2,000 XP.
