Gak!

As I just posted in another thread, under rules as written, a 150pt enchanter with a group of 80pt assistants can manage 300 energy at $1½ per level, and if you get a group of masters, they can manage 500 energy for $3 per level.

Your post makes a whole lot of assumptions. I just used the RAW numbers for the purpose of this thread, which is to create a handy list of useful, standard, generic, typical magic items that can be easily used by GM's.

But, what point break a given circle uses or is standard in any fantasy campaign isn't the topic of this thread.

It seems likely that a professional enchanter would have: HT 12, FP 16 (magic only -60%).

So cost should be based on 16x6 not 10x6.

The costs assumed by Magic don't make much sense, but they make a gameable assumption. Especially since they let PCs make great money by violating them(Ally + Powerstone = Profit). Personally, I've found that any time S&S gets involved it gets less fun, and the transition causes balance issues, and stuff… But that's not the game here.

Somebody could start a separate thread for hashing out the cost schedule that actually falls out from the system, though.

Item Name: Timekeeping Ring
Item Type: Ring
Description: A simple bronze ring (0.1 lbs.)
Price: $520.25
Materials Cost: $6.25
Enchantment Cost: $514.00
Enchantments: Adjustable Clothing (34, p. M59), Alarm (60, p. M100) x8.
Function: Adjusts to fit it's wearer by changing size up to 25%. Vibrates or chimes every three hours. When used in conjunction with a simple timekeeping device such as an hourglass, this item lets someone keep time accurately when at sea for long periods, allowing better navigation than would usually be possible at TL3.
Notes: Cost and weight of the ring from Dungeon Fantasy 8. This item is considerably cheaper than one enchanted with Tell Time ($8,250), although not quite as practical. Cheaper versions may have fewer alarm spells.

I had a navigator character who came up with a different solution to this problem:

Item Name: Home port compass
Item Type: Navigator's compass
Description: A brass disc with direction marks and a rotating pointer, with two perpendicular levels on its articulated frame to assure that it is used at the horizontal. The direction marks are extremely fine; a magnifying glass helps to read them. The enchantment is on the needle, but the whole thing is solidly built and meant to withstand time at sea. It is engraved with the sign of some sailor's organization in the setting.
Price: $7900
Materials Cost: $150 ($25 item, +1 CF ruggedized, +4 CF styling)
Enchantment Cost: $7750
Enchantments: Find Direction (Magic, p. 101)
Function: Tells the user first north, to calibrate the compass, and then the direction to the headquarters of a well-known sailor's guild or mage hall. With this and the knowledge of his latitude, easily determined with simple tools, a little trigonometry tells the navigator exactly where he is.
Notes: HT 12, DR 6, 1.2lb, +2 to Influence rolls like Merchant on collectors and potential buyers. An excellent piece of equipment.
