No, only if the cost per point of energy is also lower than the equivalent cost for a powerstone. The largest manastone that is cheaper than slow and sure is 26 energy. You can make a 26 energy cheap powerstone for 4x the cost of a manastone (yes, GURPS Magic notwithstanding, Q&D is perfectly cost effective for 80 energy enchantments). If you use the powerstone more than 4 times (which will be true if you keep using it for at least 104 days), or if you can sell the powerstone after using it once (for at least 75% of its value), the powerstone is cheaper.
