If you are dissatisfied with the magic item costs (which are much less WRT the overall economy in TFT than AD&D), how would you refactor them?

Use the XP to Gold conversion to balance items against learned abilities?

Which is the better deal?

400 XP = 400 Gold = A Stone Flesh item that is always on.

or

500 XP to learn the Stone Flesh spell (nobody plays muggles so non-wizard cost doesn't matter) that takes an action and a DX roll to cast and 1 ST/turn to maintain.
