+10	+100,000 gp2	+20	+100
+11 or more	+ bonus squared × 10,000 gp	+ enhancement bonus × 2	+ enhancement bonus × 10
Unlike the additional cost, the increase to the armor or shield's hardness and hit points are only gained from its enhancement bonus, not its special abilities. If the armor or shield has a magical bonus greater than +5 or a special ability worth more than +5, then it's epic. Multiply magic cost by 10.
