Create Single-Use Item [Magic, Item Creation]

Prerequisite: Spellcasting.

Benefit: You can create a magic item that stores a spell that you know for a single use, such as a potion, a pinch of magical powder, or a glass ball meant to release the spell when it shatters. Single-use items can be used by any character, but always require some physical action, such as drinking a potion, breaking a seal, or rubbing on a salve. Performing the action takes a standard action and always provokes an attack of opportunity. The caster makes all the choices about the parameters of the spell (such as the target) when creating the item.
The purchase DC of a single-use magic item is the cost of the masterwork item (minimum 10) + 7 + Magic Power + (Magic Power divided by 2 and rounded up). Increase the purchase DC by 2 if the item allows the user to make some or all of the choices about the parameters of the spell (for example, if using the item allows the user to cast the spell on another creature).
Sample masterwork item costs: potion (purchase DC 10).
