Re: Powerstone Program
Actually I just updated the source code on my webpage, and it pulls the formula directly from the Magic text in the sidebar on page 20. I also calculated several trial values and they are very close to those listed (I suspect some rounding error in the text).

Re: Powerstone Program
I didn't say that you inaccurately transcribed Magic; I said that your formula was wrong. The formula in Magic is also wrong.

And if that made you cry...when I ran a computer lab at an elementary school, we had no budget to hire someone to repair them. So I repaired one computer with masking tape and another with a paper clip. They were still working three years later. :-P

Re: Powerstone Program
it not wrong, because they can only be used once in a blue moon due to recharge times. they are only useful for very special project that can be rare to take on.

Re: Powerstone Program
Without powerstones, a 100 energy enchantment costs $3,300. With powerstones, it costs $60 plus the use of 6 7-point powerstones ($4,800 each, so $28,800). If you do ten enchantments of that size, the slow and sure method costs $33,000 (and 1,000 mage-days, or about 8 months for a circle of 6) the quick and dirty method costs $29,400 (and 2 months letting the stones recharge). This is ignoring powerstones on cheap materials, which wind up being cheaper than standard powerstones at any size larger than 2 points.
