EDIT: You can buy a Capacity 8 Powerstone for $1300 bucks, and that would be pre-charged.
Let's see... the Elixer lasts for about seven hours. $1300 in order to reduce the charging time for a powerstone by two or three days seems like a hell of a bad deal.

I agree. For a size 8 powerstone, a tyche potion is a hell of a bad deal. A Tyche Potion lasts 2d6 hours which is more than enough to completly recharge the stone (possibly many times over). Remember that the cost of a powerstone increases quadratically (as P^2) so while it might seem like a bad deal (and is) for a power 8 stone, it's probably a good deal for a power 30 stone which is much more expensive.
Again, it's a scaling issue.
As for Manastones, the problem with Manastones is they don't recharge at all. However, with mundane manastones, you can get one-time power for dirt cheap prices since you pay the enchanting price only (and not the carat cost for the gem) making the cost increase linearly rather than quadratically.
