They will if they want to see an item. It's a seller's market, if you won't put down half as a deposit the Duke of Faltan will, he's been after us for a new sword for a year already.

It's not a seller's market when the Duke could mutter "Will no one rid me of this turbulent enchanter?" and have 4 men-at-arms rush off to do just that. Rich but common merchants might face a seller's market (or at least pay actual money to assassins rather than just drop hints) but they aren't a prime sector of the sword-buying market. A Mage-Lord whose powers make him a lord in his own right might have the advantage over mundane nobles but magical tradesmen won't.

The fact is it's possible to argue for any made up limit based on the circumstances. Any limit would be exactly that, circumstantial. Given enough time, enough large powerstones, and enough skill on the part of the circle master, you could reach any arbitrary size of Hideaway given time. Whether it be Q&D or S&S. |

No, it doesn't. There is no cap. There is no "practical" limit aside from whatever you set for your game. Stop trying to set limits for others, thanks.
Though, depending on how you read Q&D, that 1725 number of yours takes 17 straight* hours of casting... so you might just have a hard limit of "how long can the enchanter stay awake and casting". * Nothing says Q&D get to take breaks, unlike S&S. |

Also keep in mind that in a setting with lots of enchanting that Q&D likely pays more and still gives you work weekends free. |

Re: [Magic] A Pound Takes Up 2 Cubic FEET?!
Or you finish it on spec (if you can afford your upkeep), and keep all the money from the sale as well as well as the forfeited down payment, thus making more than normal for the risk. That depends in part on external factors like the market for such items. (Yet Another +1 Long Sword in Faerun is an easy sell if you go ahead and finish it, whereas the Obsessed Baron's Collar of Treat Summoning for Fluffy might just go into the trash half-finished when it turns out that the baron's other eccentricities have bankrupted his estate. Though some of the mats, like all those jewels in the collar, might be salvageable.)

Re: [Magic] A Pound Takes Up 2 Cubic FEET?!
What scc means is that if even one apprentice enchanter drops out fo the project (of the full crew) then the enchanting stops dead. You can't (by the RAW) just replace that apprentice with another apprentice, every mage that starts teh job must see it through to the end.
I dropped those rules and just adjust how long the enchanting takes based on the number of mages remaining. |
