About the only real use for Enchanting in the games I've played in has been
the magicians baking up a focus for themselves so they could pay less karma
to bond the bastards. No one even bothered to use Enchanting to make
enough fetishes or foci or anything to sell.

That should be in with the rest of the Enchanting information. But I do
seem to recall (it's been awhile since I've had to actually read up on
Enchanting, no one in the current mix of PCs has it yet) that there wasn't
a specific number of radicals/units that had to be used. It was more like
the more units of orichalcum, the extra radicals added in, all made the
karma cost easier. And since, in theory, you could enchant nearly anything
and turn it into a focus, you don't *have* to use any units.

Hope this helps.
