Maybe it's a flawed idea (and if you did it in Dark Sun there would definitely need to be a different sort of cost, like "drain hit points from the surrounding environment based on the ritual's cost), but I think it would provide a lot of creative options.So if we figure that most stuff costs dinky amounts of copper or silver, how much is a day of labor for a farmer? A skilled laborer? An expert?</blockquote>
