A 400 page book can be copied for a cost of roughly 33 fatigue (including the one expected statistical failure if skill is 12). This would require a total of 330 minutes of rest to recover the fatigue, or roughly 6 hours to produce. That is a book a day, as contrasted with about a book a year.

Ah, I hadn't realized that. Sorry, I'm in Houston and AFMB. Lets say fix it so each casting only gives you 1 copy? If you set the energy cost above the level that it can be cast for free easily (2 or 3) you avoid the super-specialists churning out a copy a second.
