|blockreason=NewVersionFIRST OF ALL, try notifying users that you're blocking their ratings as per the community guidelines requirements. This spell has not significantly changed, and I would LOVE to hear your explanation as to what is so radically different about this new and improved version that it justifies blocking everyone's unaddressed criticisms. |reasonSECOND, In case my previous rating was not sufficiently clear, I will elaborate, taking into account the current revision. Say it with me now: Spells that rely completely on DM fiat ARE BAD DESIGN. Period full stop the end. If you're designing a spell that costs you 2k XP minimum to ask your deity politely for a weapon, why not save yourself 1,000 XP by casting Gate and ask your deity for a loaner, since that also would be completely up to the DM to grant on whatever basis the DM chooses. Your spell is just begging to cause a heated argument at the table or discord server.  Then there's the usual and completely unnecessary "Luigifansplaining" of both basic game mechanics and your own fluff. You call the created weapon a replica in the first line, there's no need to add "you're not leaving god unarmed, LOLWINK" later on. Also, how is this a creation AND calling spell? The two subschools are mutually exclusive.  And the XP cost calculation is still ridiculous. Why mess with "1/4 of the inner diameter of your left asscheek times 3.75 the weight of your last turd in kilograms divided by yesterday's bedtime in Greenwich Time"? You already specified 20k gold's worth of enhancements =+1 for the purposes of casting time, just use that for XP as well. Not that this still isn't ridiculous. I mean, you're looking at 14,625 XP to make a permanent +10 weapon, which would only cost 8,000 XP to make yourself, without any item creation feats.  Bottom line, this thing is still a hot mess, I still oppose it, and don't block my rating again without actually, substantially fixing things. Actually no. Fix it, then ask to change the rating. If the fix is not unreasonable, the Rater will not refuse. <s>I got tired just reading all the spell descriptors.
Then I actually read the spell.
Here is my verbatim reaction as I read it: "What. wha.... WHAT. Whaaaat. No. No. Noooope. Oh, look, there's the needlessly complicated formula. Wait WHAT? Why would... oh JE-zus.. Arrrgh, no."</s>
