Milo had scoffed at the idea of 1st level non-caster NPCs working together to create goods en masse-until he did the math. She'd asked her mother, and sent back what amounted to a short essay detailing mining, machinery, smelting, and, the production line. He'd owled Hermione, who had gone back to live with her parents until September, to ask how the Muggles managed to make so much stuff. An ordinary peasant from Myra (City of Light! City of Magic!) would have to spend nearly three years' wages to buy a good horse and wagon, and all of Milo's proposed self-propelled machines would cost hundreds of times more-except possibly for the last, depending on the availability of relatively intact, low-HD corpses. From what he'd seen, the Muggles here nearly all had cars. Mundane crafting had none of these concerns, with the time being largely based on the creator's skill, tools, and assistants and the cost fluctuating with circumstance and quality. Magic, save for some trickery relying on extreme Munchkinry, came hand-in-hand with exponential-and fixed-time, gold, and XP costs. The more Milo thought about it, magic was really the limiting factor. However, all of Milo's plans were either prohibitively expensive in terms of gold, XP, or morals-and, of course, required magic. They seemed to be able to accomplish the impossible without magic-like cars, for instance. His recent glimpses of the Muggle world had shaken him to a degree that surprised him.
