[PnP] Perm Magics...how...?

[Burton Choinski]

I would probably scale the casting cost to some degree.

When creating perm magics, the final MDV of the piece should always be  
applied on the roll -- high power items should ALWAYS be a rough task.

Obviously, each subsequent enchanting creates a cumulative chance of  
failure or abysmal.  I would, at a minimum, charge DOUBLE mana and 50%  
more MDV (for resisting the roll) for anything that is immune to a  
class (immune to fireball is a single, immune to fire is a class), and  
perhaps TRIPLE mana with DOUBLE MDV difficulty for total immunity.
