FASA oh so convieniently forgot to price them. The ritual materials
are used in the summoning not circle drawing [note mage in main
rulebook busy with 'acme mystic circle paint'!!!] though the cost of
materials for magic circles should exist.
If you make em cheap, powders, paint etc assume living expense cover
it if the mage lives somewhere big enough to hide the thing [real
bind trying to find somewhere 13M across in both directions for that
force 10 conjouring!!
If you want to start inlaying the things with rare woods gold etc
well handing your GM a blank check from your character would probably
have been less painful.
Yes a place big enough to hide these things sure could have a
lifestyle upkeep cost, anyone going to compete with the rigger over
who gets the warehouse this week?
