Magic Carpet

Magic item, Miscellaneous magic item

A large flying carpet that can carry a whole party through the air indefinitely.

From the book

A magic carpet carries up to seven human-sized people, or roughly 2,000 lbs., through the air for as long as its owner wishes. The large 10x10 ft. carpet it is made from must be of the finest quality and rarely costs less than 10,000 G.P.

As a greater magic item its magic is permanent and renews itself each day. Making one calls for the materials of a minor magic item and two months plus two weeks for each level of the spell it holds, with a 99% chance of success; one offered for sale usually costs at least twice its materials plus 2,000 G.P. per week of enchanting. It counts toward the seven magic items a person may carry or wear at once; go past seven and none of them works.
