Formulating Magical Research

I think at this point, the system is simply unworkable for me and my group. I wish you the best of luck with it, but i dont think i can provide any constructive opinions.

Assuming the 1st note was not already presented in the document (remember that regular Invisibility ends upon attack, so you’ll have to make it an ever-repeating power), emanating effects cannot be applied to others, given they’re already active.

What? Why does it have to be ever-repeating? Just because it can end due to my actions, and therefore needs to be turned back on, why does it need to be in the ever-repeating category? And are you trying to tell me, with that last phrase, that the invisible ring only makes itself invisible, and not the person wearing it?

Given the amount of confusion caused by your current category labels, and what items they should be applied to, you should really rewrite and more clearly define these rules, especially that first section.

But now that you mentioned it, I’m considering lowering the base price for permanent items to [SpL x 4000]

That will help, some. Still, the whole rule set definitely needs a fair bit of cleaning and clarifying before it's really ready to play.
