We base our prices on the time and effort that went into creation of the book. To copy each spell into a book, it took a practitioner two hours per spell level at a cost of 50gp. We charge a 10% finders fee. Custom orders cost more because we need to find one or more practitioners who know the desired spells.
For example, a generic spell book with 3 level 1 spells, 2 level 2 spells, 1 level 4 spell and 1 level 5 spell would be priced as follows: 50gp for blank, 3*1*55 for the level 1 spells, 2*2*55 for the level 2 spells, 1*4*55 for the level 4 spell, and 1*5*55 for the level 5 spell. The total cost of the spell book would be 935gp (50+16*55). A custom order of specific spells at these levels and quantities would cost 1,250gp (50+16*75).
Delivery time for custom orders varies, and is calculated by adding the following:

• 2 hours per spell level*number of spell levels/8 hour work day. In our example above, it would take a practitioner four eight-hour days.

• 1d4+2 weeks to locate supplier(s), have them each do their part, and get the book back to the shop.

If you request a rush order, we can reduce the time by 50% through use of portals to pass the book back and forth. The cost for this is 60gp per portal. Two portals,one to send and one to return, are required for each supplier, so your surcharge will be 160gp x1d4 suppliers.
