Mana Hoard is wealth per 1 energy point, recovers as a powerstone.
A ER would easily get -80% for location, value and slow recharge.

Signature points could buy a powerstone but thats not a linear option so hard to price.

Any ideas?
I think you could define the available energy as per Static Power Supplies Thaumatology.p53, but probably only for the Dragon.
p55, Inanimate Sacrifices lists the value per point as (campaign average starting wealth)/250 per energy point. The sacrifice part would imply that drawing upon the magical energy actually destroys the equivalent value of treasure, which seems like an interesting option.

Now we know why Technomancer-universe dragons take up positions at museums after leaving the service.

I'd go with modified ER, I tried to stat it out with Gadgets, but it doesn't work as well.
