And thank you for pointing that to me. For the clone in stasis. Check Vecna lives. Although second edition, the working of the spells are the same. In From the ashes, The Greyhawk wars and in  Rary the Traitor; it is explicitly said that Rary and Robilar tracked all Tenser's clone to make sure he'd stay dead. So yep, my interpretation, this time is right. And I try to remember in which dragon magazine but this had been brought up (in a sage advice or in the reader's column?) and answered the way I ruled at the time. As for the fact that it was easier in 1e and 2e.Creating magic items was easier only in the way that creating magic items was giving experience to the mage. Not costing experience but giving experience. I thought I had been clear on that but apparently I was not. The only hard part, however, was to get the receipe. Once you knew a receipe, you could do it over and over and rise in levels just by creating magic items. Yes you needed the funds. But the cost to create was less than the amount of gold you made with a sell. A few potions here and there. Then a few wands. You get the picture.As for the permanency spell, magic jar could be used to avoid the potential loss, or simply using a stone of good luck.  The only real hard part, as I said, was to get that receipe. At least in 3e and above, there is an experience cost associated with creating magic items. Now the crafter has to go on adventures to make more items. 5e now makes sure that you would not make money by doing magic items. So if you do some, it will be for your benefits alone (or maybe some friends).And no harsh feeling for your "bluntness" you have stayed quite polite in my book. I am not an omnipotent DM. I am old and memory can get fuzzy sometimes. You are perfectly within your rights to correct the mistakes that I make.</blockquote>
