The spell costs exactly as much as creating an unslotted, custom magic item, yes, and even with CL shenanigans doesn't necessarily allow for extremely high-end items.  What's more, it's a permanent duration spell.  Regardless of your CL, if you get hit with an MDJ then these bonuses are gone.  If you spent the time to craft the magic items, then you'd at least get a save.

So yeah, you really need to make it Supernatural with Dweomerkeeper in order to make it at all worthwhile.  That should take care of the SR issue as well.

And I don't believe in negotiating with Demons.  We kill them and enslave them, we don't negotiate!
Weaker people negotiate with demons, powerful people in slave or kill them, truly evil people have demons negotiating for them...

There is a lawyer joke in there some where but damned if I can figure out how to place it.

Lawyers are demons?
Hi Welcome
[spoiler]
Allow me to welcome you both with my literal words and with an active display of how much you fit in by being tone deaf, dumb, and uncritical of your babbling myself.[/spoiler]
