With the Reformation of the Fey King, access to his home dimension, the Wold's Cradle, has gotten a lot easier. Some creators of magical items have learned how to enter a pocket into the Cradle, where time moves more quickly. This allows faster creation of magic items, because time flows differently in the Cradle.

Gilan's Fast Forge Time [Item Creation Feat]

You have delved into an underused art and made it your own. By entering a pocket of the Wold's Cradle, where time flows differently, you can create magic items more quickly.

Prerequisite: Concentration 4 ranks, Any Item Creation Feat or Class Ability that allows magic item creation

Benefit: You are able to actually cut the time that it takes to create a magic item by half.

The use of this feat requires a vertical surface and a special wooden stylus made of the wood of the Ishgara Tree. Draw a portal on the surface with the stylus. The drawn portal becomes a real portal into an extra-dimensional space, like a rope trick. The portal is visible, and only the item crafter can enter. Those seeking to aid in item creation by casting spells must cast them through the portal. If anyone, friend or foe, seeks to enter, the portal collapses and the item maker returns to the Wold.

Drawing the portal requires one minute, and during that time, the item maker is in a state of concentration that renders him helpless. If any magic items other than those required to create the item are brought into the space, the creation fails. Within the space, time moves twice as fast as in the real Wold. Up to eight hours may be spent in the space per day.

This feat lets you brew a potion or scribe a scroll in half a day if the value of the potion or scroll is 1,000 gp or less.

There is always a very small chance (1% per item made) that some fey creature will be attracted to the portal. Such a fey might be friendly or hostile. You can also try to make time move even faster, taking one third the normal time with a 10% chance of attracting a fey, or faster still, taking one fourth the normal time with a 100% chance of attracting a fey. The fey may bargain for a fee, or introduce a quirk or curse to the item, or help out somehow. Fey are known for being unpredictable.

Special: A wizard can take this feat as a bonus feat.

Cost: The required stylus must be purchased or otherwise obtained by the item maker in game (not in the Catacombs). It may be more or less easily purchasable in game for a price of about 1,000 gp. It can be reused.

Note: This feat does nothing to lessen the experience cost to create an item, neither does it lessen the cost to create an item. This feat only effects the time that it takes to create one.
