Magic loot tends to be way more valuable than mundane loot (some exceptions at the low end magic spectrum and high end mundane spectrum, of course). If you craft magic at the mundane rate, it takes approximately two ELT's (Elven Life Times) to make anything. Crafting mundane items at the magical rate would allow you to make weapons, armor, and the like much faster than the designer's felt appropriate. At least that seems way more logical and likely than arcano-economics to me.STILL, I love me some good theorycrafting. Perhaps the time difference comes from the fact that mages aren't crafting at all. That is simply the time required for the research, contact, and brokering of a deal with their infernal overlords. FIGHT THE POWER! DOWN WITH THE MAGOCRACY! DOWN WITH PELOR, THE BURNING HATE! LIVE FREE OR DI apologize for my outburst. Obviously, trying to shortcut the creation of my own herbal potions had unintended side effects. There is no reason to distrust spellcasters or their combination of detect thoughts and dominate person. Have a great day.</blockquote>
