So you guys know I wrote a web app for calculating the cost of RPM rituals.

I'm currently adding some automated tests on the app, and how I verify that the app is working correctly is to directly copy a ritual from Chapter 4 "The Grimoire" from GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic and compare the output of my app against the actual text from that book.

In doing so, I'm finding some differences! In some cases these are actually typos in the text; others may be a difference between my algorithms and how the author calculated the ritual.

I'm going to add some posts on specific questions about the cost calculations below to get everyone's feedback.

Does SJG want a list of the things that look like typos?
