M A Lloyd responded with the same "-3 for an unknown spell and another -3 per each level of power enchanted" the following day.

From my search of the Pyramid GURPS board (thank you, Free Agent), I found this in a post by Jeff Wilson on Feb 7, 2003, in which he reported asking Kromm about this, in a thread called "The Incompleat Powerstone: Labor Costs":

This would seem to back up M A's ruling.

Interesting...of course this means the only Powerstones worth enough to look at casting Remove Enchantment upon are the ones you cant possibily successfully cast the spell on.

Hmm not GMing at the moment but I will have to think...most likely to get hit with a house ruling of some sort....

Not true. If you buy $1,400 stone (sufficient for a 10 pt stone) and it quirks on the first try, you might as well remove that enchantment and start over.
