Re: Why bother with powerstones?
Kind of side point.
I remember way back when, there were powerstone charging racks. No idea where I saw this, but I definitely remember reading it, not house ruled. |

Re: Why bother with powerstones?
One of the GURPS Magic Items books mentioned them, if memory serves.

Re: Why bother with powerstones?
That's probably (?) because GURPS powerstones recharge themselves from ambient mana, but have to be separated by some distance or else they compete with each other for the available mana.

Buzzardo, Skarg
Thanks, I knew I remembered reading that. Just couldn't for the life of me remember where/when. |

Re: Why bother with powerstones?
Here's another powerstone question. In Note B to magic item creation, it talks about how both powerstone lines can be combined, and how 5 wizard's, 3 apprentices and 12 potions can make an ST 17 powerstone.
I can't figure out the math for that. Can anyone she'd some light? |

the fourth wizard will be doing the 1 point enchantment twice (for unknown reasons) with the fifth wizard acting as her apprentice. Therefore 26 healing potions will be consumed over each of two weeks for a total of 52 potions.
