Oh, but they can. One of my favorite methods of money making for mages
isn't 'running, it's enchanting. Thanks to the Connected Edge, a mage
can now buy and sell radicals for the book price. The ingredients for a
unit of Orichalum cost 44k and the average enchanter will get about 3
units (at 88k each) out of it.
Even if you count lifestyle costs, you're still coming out in the
neighborhood of 500+% ahead.

This assumes that you sell every focus you make. Any EGM worth his salt won't
provide a buyer for every focus the enchanter cranks out <EGMG>.
