Limits on powerstones

ITL 163: "but no one in history is known to have tried to build one any greater than 720."

Because?

ITL 150: "An 18 ruins the entire spell ... A Charm can help him on this roll."

Let us assume that any natural roll of 18 ruins the entire powerstone enchantment and that charms do not modify this.

A 720 point stone requires at least 288 wizard weeks of work and so has only a 26% chance of making it that far, even with base DX 15 and a +2 charm.

Agreed?
