DM Nagging: It's pretty much my job

[Anastasia]

So, I'm looking at this:

Improving An Item Familiar

An item familiar can be improved as other magic items can be. By spending gold pieces (and time and experience points, assuming the character is the one doing the work), a character can add new abilities to his item familiar. If a character links himself to a +1 longsword, for example, it only costs 6,000 gp (or 3,000 gp and 240 XP) to add another +1 of enhancement bonus or, perhaps, a special ability that is equivalent to a +1 bonus (such as spell storing or flaming). The character can accomplish this even without having the requisite item creation feats.

This type of improvement has nothing to do with the master's character level, though it may affect the item's eventual Ego score.

Now what I'm not understanding is this: A +1 effect is 2,000gp. Adding a second +1 effect is 8,000gp as the new total enhancement bonus is +2. By the improvement rule, it's only 6,000gp for an improvement of a familiar.

Now this is my Item Familiar:

Life-drinker +1 (+14 total enchantment value), 392,000gp: 1d12, x3 Crit; Bestows two negative levels on damage, 1 day later DC 16 fort to lose a character level. Bestows one negative level on wielder on damage; In addition, it is also Anarchic, Transmuting, All-Bane, Wounding. Anarchic: Chaos aligned, +2d6 damage vs. lawful alignment. Transmuting: 1 round after a successful hit, overcomes damage reduction. All-bane: as a swift action, the wielder may change the type of bane weapon it is. This may be any bane type listed on the table for bane weapons (DMG 224), but not more exotic types of bane (such as a mage bane weapon). Wounding: On damage, inflict 1 point of damage to Constitution.

The total bonus for this is +14 @ 392,000gp. So, If I want to bump the +1 to, say, +10 and add damage dice by say, tossing on acid damage, what's the actual math formula for it? I mean, as it stands, it's got a lot of things going for it, but it's still a +1, 1d12 +2d6 bane weapon. Anarchic is more if it can be applied, but as a raw weapon, I think I need a bit more to-hit and damage.

It would be treated as a weapon of its full power.

Posting for approval/adding to homebrew:

Telekinetic Combat Reflexes

You can respond quickly and repeatedly to opponents who let their defenses down.

Formatting this as normal for my ease of parsing.

It would be treated as a weapon of its full power.

Basically, as you say it's a +14 effective weapon. If you want to bump the numerical enchantment value from +1 to +10, that's a +9 bump overall. So the weapon becomes a 14+9=23. So your monetary amount is the difference from the full cost of a +23 weapon minus the full cost of a +14 weapon.

Quick question: Could everyone check if all of their spells are in the spell collection? I want to make sure I haven't missed any lately.
