    When this spell is cast, it brings to the caster's mind the amount of money,
    to within 10% of their value, that the item is worth to the average buyer.
    An item may be worth more or less to specific buyers, but this spell provides
    only what an average buyer would pay for it.

    If this spell is cast on a magical item, the appraisal is based only on the
    non-magical properties of the item, with any magical weapons being treated
    as masterwork, +1 attack only, weapons.

    Focus: A miniature scale worth at least 50 gp.
//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
//:: Spell Effects Applied / Notes
//:://////////////////////////////////////////////
    The example was:

    If this spell is cast on a magical item, the appraisal is based only on the
    non-magical properties of the item. As an example, a keen flaming longsword
    +1 would, according to this spell, be worth between 284 gp and 346 gp
    (within 10% of the price of a masterwork longsword, which is 315 gp).

    Which is fine.

    This is done via. 2da lookups, as to make it easier. Noting, of course, that
    unless they know it is masterwork, they will not even get the +1 attack bonus
    bonus to the price.

    Arrows ETC which are treated as 1 GP, cannot be anything but 1GP. Nothing
    will be estimated at 0.

    Masterwork (+1 attack) costs 404 when added to a blank weapon - thusly, this
    is how much will be added if the weapon is actually magical.

    NOTE:

    Average buyer, as it is only the base cost, is using a check of 100% basically.
