As the sun crested in the east, Erick gazed dow

That cliffhanger is just mean. Canโ€™t wait for the next chapter because of it! ๐Ÿ˜

This is a very spoiler heavy topic, since Erick has not done much enchanting on screen, but I can say that there is an opportunity cost to having a fully enchanted item, and adventurers have money, but not always a lot of time. It would take a freshly charged wand of Blink, with 50 theoretical charges, but starting at 1, about 21 hours to go from 1 charge to 50 (since charging with a grand rad is 1 mana every minute and each charge is 25 mana). It's more complicated than that, but those would be spoilers. Also, and here's the main thing that is almost a spoiler, but not quite: enchanters waste a lot of money on failed attempts (Erick has wasted over 200k, so far, and he's got nothing to show for it besides some enchanted knives and failed staffs) so they have to recoup their loses somehow.

I just looked back at chapter 18, which mentions pricing for partially charged items: >Well. Not exactly. A single wand of Blink, fully charged, cost 500 gold, like Erick had theorized. But with a bit more reading, the truth behind that cost was a lot more complicated that the spell MP x 20. Items with only one charge โ€”freshly made magic itemsโ€” were 1/10th the fully charged price How can there be such a steep increase in cost just for charging, given that a grand-rad can do it basically for free?
