Default [Magic\Thaumatology] How Much For Bonuses?

I realize that the answer to this question is going to be highly variable, but I want to at least get some idea of how much these sorts of bonuses should cost. Keep in mind that these are physical object that players are being with cash, not points. If you need a reference point or setting, go with DF, as this fits in with the warrior having a caddy to lug around all his swords.

So the two items I've worked out already are:
Armathe: This dagger or (short) sword grants bonuses to cast harmful magic, this includes all magic that deals damage, and may include both curses and de-buffs.

Cleaning broom: Used to ritually clean an area before a working to grant bonus(es), construction from Hawthorn might be required or simply grant a greater bonus.

I would start by Magery 10pts as it is what gives magic boost. Then stranslate it into gadget.

If you got it, DFRPG Magic Items pdf page 23 Holy sword is a good template for weapons that grant bonuses for specific things.

These things are paid for with cash, not points, even at character creation.

That's sort of what I'm going for but. I'm going to have to visit my local library and hope they've got some good books on classical mythology, anyone got some recommended titles?

Yes, I ment it as a guideline. 1 pts is worth 100 dollars style conversion can do the rest.

By default, it costs the the amount of money you would get by spending its point value on money, so in DF $500 per point.
