Note that none of these are exactly common and some of the larger cannon exist only as the work of a few master craftsmen or even only in prototype.

The magical versions of the Thayvian bombards are not available for purchase by anyone not in the service of the Red Wizards. There exist alchemical emulations of their bombards (these are at the higher ends of the weight range given), but the prices might be much higher and the effectiveness might be less.
