Concentration

When concentrating on a spell for an extended period of time, each hour spent concentrating on the spell provides a -1 penalty to the concentration check, and must be performed each hour. If a spell is concentrated on for over 8 hours, the spellcaster gains the exausted condition. If a character is immune to exaustion or fatigue, they spell instead ends after 8 hours.

Craft

Crafters Signature

Each and every spellcaster has a unique signature to their items, that applies on every single item they create. There is no way to permanently hide this feature without destroying the item, however temporary methods have been known to exist. The first time that a creature creates a magic item, they may roll twice on the below table, or choose a specific combination of two that will appear as a special quirk upon anything that they craft. A crafters signature is so unique to them, that even small nuances will appear if two different spellcasters share the same signature. These differences are subtle, but easilly noticed with proper investigation.
