Laboratories and enchanting items
The ITL rules provide a single unambiguous statement about the importance of laboratories for enchanting items: you need to use one to make any kind of magic item (p. 142, middle of the left column).
How seriously do you follow this? Do you enforce it for magic items that are created by their own unique spells (staffs; exploding gems)? How about weapon/armor enchantment?
Does an enchanter have to build and run his or her own lab? Or can you beg, borrow or steal time in one built by another person? If you track the economics of enchantments, how much should that cost?
