Price[]
In a typical TL3 fantasy setting with plentiful wizardry and shops full of magic items the base commission for a Slow and Sure item is about $33 per energy point in addition to the cost of the materials to make the item being enchanted.[note 1] The information on Paut elixir links this price to starting wealth. This shows that Industrial Enchantment (The green cells) is impractical in terms of cost at TL0[note 2] and TL1. The mark-up at TL 2 to equal commission Retail cost is slightly more than 25% which makes it a good baseline Retail Cost for TL3 and above.
