Enchanting an Item Str cost

So, just divide the ST/day cost by 25, and that's how many mages you're going to need for the project.

(Like most old-school games, enchanting significant items for personal use was not expected to be a PC in-game activity.)

A wizard can also use Powerstone/Strength batteries in enchanting. And those could be recharged by another group of apprentices off site.
