The practical limit for Q&D with powerstones is about 100 per enchanter (using 90 point stones cast on cheap materials) -- a 90 point stone costs around $27k for one college, $44k for general, and allows 4 enchantments per year (worth $13,200 per mage; that's quite fast payoff, but there are other costs associated with maintaining such a circle).
Using non-cheap powerstones is nonsensical (more than ten times as expensive). There are tricks involving paut that significantly alter this, but unless you're allowing paut talismans it's generally not worthwhile.
