As a different example, it is much cheaper to purchase 5 wish scrolls than it is to purchase a Tome of xyz +5. I suppose something like the Magic Compendium can only really attempt patches on an existing system, and they are unlikely to try to provide one or more all-new systems for magic items (and its pricing), no matter how interesting and useful that might be.Cheers</blockquote>
