Also I should write more

I write for shit, but upon a rereading of the below, it's almost exactly how I talk.  Full steam ahead what the fuck are you talking about 'pause for breath' or punctuation or somebullshit like that?  When I say "describe", I want that fucking sentence to be filled with so many adjectives that the ones on top are torn between fighting for a clawhold to stay on the pile or grasping at their friends who may not have been so lucky in their positioning and need a helping hand to stay aboard or be flung into the abyss of the mind, never to be seen again.
"You can create any wondrous item whose prerequisites you meet. Enchanting a wondrous item takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its price. To enchant a wondrous item, you must spend 1/25 of the item's price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of this price."
In translation, making a wondrous item requires not only raw materials and special skills, but a healthy chunk of your own personal experience/existence.
