Just cut it to one per day or week and cut the cost accordingly." That's very important, because if there's not enough magically produced breastplates to flood the market and drive the price down, then there's not enough magically produced breastplates to have a significant effect on the economy - and that means that overall, things will stay the same. One guy with a Magic Breastplate-O-Matic is not going to change the face of armorsmithing across the world - it's only when the change becomes widespread that it's going to have a significant impact."Now this is a good argument!  All right, you are right.  To do this he would have to cut profit down, and keep production up.  The idea would have to spread also, over generations.  Since a magic item tends not to break down unless broken, you could get a slow buildup of special magic items for this kind of work...Mr. Oberon</blockquote>
