Mages are sometimes greedy, sometimes not. Eg, look at the costs and descriptions of Alchemists (300 gp) or Adepts of Pyriphlegeton (180 gp) - both come with only 3 magic picks. Obviously there's more than pure mathematic formulas at work.

While the Alchemist is obvious an outlier, I think it is rather obvious why. The Adept of Pyriphlegeton is actually priced exactly correctly, according to the modding guidelines.

And yes, that means that SS### is worth the same as FFF, in the designers' minds.

Or rarity - eg, the standard Seraph in both Caelum themes. 100 gp -> 140 gp. Otherwise same stats.

The 140g is the 'correct' price for a 2/1 mage. I have yet to understand why Caelum's mages are so cheap.

They can't. One is elemental magic, one is sorcery.

Ah, That means my calculation for the Galderman is slightly off. You'd think with 20 examples I'd see that pattern...
