2 | -If you find this spreadsheet valuable, I hope you'll visit Applesorcerer.com, where I've started publishing content for the DM's Guild and DriveThruRPG. | -Items in orange and italic are suggested prices; e.g., what a player might pay at a magical supplies store. These are a little subjective. (Also includes the word "(suggested)" now. Thanks, Vimes Carrot!) -Items with no marked price ("-") must be harvested by the caster or acquired via special means. -Items in normal black are the minimum value of the material that the spell requires in order to be successful! | -You seem like a person who likes materials. I have a whole podcast exploring the incredible true stories behind the materials we work with outside the realm of fantasy! I'd appreciate it if you visit episodictable.com to give it a listen. | - | - | -1 | -If you have any suggestions, feel free to add a note directly to this spreadsheet!
