  Well, the "standard" price for magic items and enchantments is raw item cost + 1000L per point of POW spent in making the item, including one-use divine magic. So, the example had 3 powers, so cost 3 POW to create but he didn't have to use any other one-use magic except the Imbue Sword With Magic spell, so it would cost 4000L + cost of the sword. If you thought that was too cheap then you could say that the Strengthen Weapon cost 3 POW and the Swift Weapon cost 2 POW, so the total cost is 6 POW + 1 spell, so sword cost + 7000L. That's probably better.
   
  Of course, you can put extra enchantments into the sword at any time, including when the sword was created.

  That keeps things nice and generic, so any smith can make pretty much any type of enchanted sword, as long as he has Enchant Bronze. Do you restrict the powers, or is it purely dependent on the smith's imagination and available POW?

See Ya
