I don't see how... this is to distinguish a permanently enchanted magic item from a general spell effect. Shouldn't there be a duration difference?

Duration difference from what? The Magic power modifier includes "won't work in no mana" and "can be suppressed by things like Neutralize Magic".

In other words, Permanent is +300%, and Magic (can be suppressed by anti-magic/low mana/etc) is -X%, so Permanent but Suppressible is (300-X)%

OH! I get what you are saying. Yes... sorry, I had a dense moment reading your reply. :)

And this is what made it clearest for me. Thanks. :)

And you can find "X" in Thaumatology, where there's a disadvantage for intelligent swords that go dormant in no mana zones, so it becomes a Temporary Disadvantage limitation, applied to the Extended Duration enhancement. Don't remember the value offhand, sorry. -GEF

You're thinking of No-Mana Shutdown, on p.119 of Thaumatology, except that it specifically states that items that merely lose their special abilities should use the Mana-Sensitive limitation instead.

Yes, that's for magical people.
