Exploring the unique scroll and gesture features of the Apple Magic Mouse

By admin

Apple Magic Mouse is a wireless multi-touch mouse that is designed and manufactured by Apple Inc. The mouse represents a sleek and minimalist design with a white, smooth, and glossy surface. It offers a unique and intuitive way to interact with a computer or Mac device. The Magic Mouse stands out for its multi-touch functionality, which allows users to perform a variety of gestures on its surface. This means that users can swipe, scroll, and navigate through web pages, documents, and other content effortlessly. The mouse also supports gestures like swiping between full-screen apps, switching between desktops, and activating Mission Control.


One thing I didn't know/recall until reading the PF SRD:

There seems to be a discrepancy on the Conjure Elemental ability though, it states 7c to use but this could be an error and is intended for the casting of at a 7th level slot. If you were going for the Item creation rules using command word this would cost at least 1 3 1800 5,400gp just for the spell part alone, but this also allows you to use a situational feat for free and is still a 1 weapon.

The mouse also supports gestures like swiping between full-screen apps, switching between desktops, and activating Mission Control. On the top surface of the Magic Mouse, there are no physical buttons. Instead, it has a touch-sensitive surface that can detect various gestures with high precision.

Continuous magic missile enchant

Just double checking I'm understanding this correctly.
So if I wanted to make an item that's basically an unlimited wand of magic missile, it'd be Caster Level x Spell Level x 2000, so 1 x 1 x 2000 = 2000?
Is that correct?

Use Activated or Continuous (the x2000) modifier probably wouldn't be appropriate for an item like this, command word is a better fit.

Luckily that is actually a little cheaper, 1800 instead of 2000 gold.

That is the basic formula for the item and what the creation guidelines say it should cost.

The thing to remember though is that any custom magic item is totally up to a GM to allow, disallow, adjust the price from the basic formula or any thing like that. A lot of GMs are going to be leery of any unlimited spell-in-a-can item and it may well be a pretty hard sell.

Nope. Magic Missile is instantaneous, so it can't be continuous and doesn't fit the examples of use-activated Items. Those rules are also only guidelines- the GM is supposed to review the item by comparing it to existing items.

If they were making it, it would be 900 GP to craft for a slotted item, 1800 for a slotless item. It's pretty easy to abuse this concept as for a little gold you could craft an item of infinite CLW that anyone can use without a UMD check.

An unlimited use wand of magic missile would be a spell trigger item, and there is no entry for unlimited use spell trigger items in the chart. However you may be able to convince your GM that since the separate special entry "charged (50 charges)" costs 1/2 base price, you could make an unlimited use spell trigger item for spell level x caster level x 1,500 gp (so 1,500 gp for a CL 1 magic missile). It would require having the spell on your class list or a DC 20 UMD check to cast.

Alternatively, you could try a use-activated item which casts magic missile, which would be spell level x caster level x 2,000 gp. This has the advantage of not needing the spell on your class list or UMD in order to use, but is more expensive. However, as casting a spell like magic missile is more in the realm of wands/scrolls, you may need to do extra convincing for your GM to allow that as a wondrous item.

In either case, your GM is free to say "no" or adjust the pricing.

If you want an existing item: Quarterstaff of Entwined Serpents from Inner Sea Gods. 5,050 GP. It is a +1 quarterstaff (not a Staff, its a weapon) that allows you to use Magic Missile CL 3 at will (no charges), also allows you to use Eschew Materials feat while held in hand.

No UMD, No CL check, just point and click.

If you were going for the Item creation rules using command word this would cost at least 1*3*1800 = 5,400gp just for the spell part alone, but this also allows you to use a (situational) feat for free and is still a +1 weapon.

Considering that a wand of magic missile is 750 gold, an unlimited use item probably shouldn't be priced at a paltry 2000 gold.

I'd actually would consider it pretty fair. For 2000 gold worth of wand you would have like 137ish charges (which equal 137ish ROUNDS) that only do 3.5 dmg on average. That's a waste of 2000 gold in my book. Go for the 750 wand for early levels.

Having the ability of infinite rounds to do 3.5 dmg each round is no better.

It's true that at a certain point, it's really not that useful of an item. XD I don't think that's enough damage to hurt most objects, so you can't even wear barriers down over time with it.

Now I want a version with five entwined serpents that shoots black, white, red, blue and green magic missiles. Staff of [product identity forbidden]. :)

I thought magic missile couldnt target objects. Maybe that was an old 3.0 faq or something tho

You are correct. Magic missile specifies it targets creatures. It can't be used on objects.

FAQ/Errata
Can I use magic missile to destroy one or more images from a mirror image spell?
No. Magic missile targets a creature and does not require an attack roll, so it bypasses all the images and always hits the caster.

If you want an existing item: Quarterstaff of Entwined Serpents from Inner Sea Gods. 5,050 GP. It is a +1 quarterstaff (not a Staff, its a weapon) that allows you to use Magic Missile CL 3 at will (no charges), also allows you to use Eschew Materials feat while held in hand.

Reviews for "The role of the Apple Magic Mouse in Apple's overall product ecosystem"

- John Doe - 1 star - I am extremely disappointed with the Apple magic mouse white multi touch surface. First of all, the battery life is absolutely terrible. I find myself having to replace the batteries at least once a week, which is extremely inconvenient and expensive. Secondly, the multi touch surface is not very responsive. It often fails to register my gestures properly, causing frustration and delays. Overall, I would not recommend this mouse to anyone.
- Jane Smith - 2 stars - The Apple magic mouse white multi touch surface is just not suitable for my needs. The design is sleek and stylish, but it is not comfortable to use for long periods of time. The low profile and flat shape puts strain on my wrist, causing discomfort and pain. Additionally, I have noticed that the mouse tends to disconnect frequently from my Macbook, which is extremely frustrating. I expected more from Apple in terms of functionality and usability.
- Mark Johnson - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Apple magic mouse white multi touch surface. The scrolling functionality is incredibly frustrating. It often scrolls too fast or too slow, making it difficult to navigate through documents or web pages. Furthermore, the mouse feels slippery and lacks grip, making it difficult to control accurately. I would not recommend this mouse to anyone who values precision and ease of use.
