Furies' Decision:
Solution 1.
Problem: Currently, a customer's jewelery may be recharged by a shop's cube, but
a customer's own cube cannot. This report seeks to rectify that by allowing a
cube to be topped up in a shop. This benefits the customers, who can charge up
their cube even when an enchanter is not available, it benefits the enchanters
who will have a lot of business and can plan their time at their leisure to
ready cubes for a shop, and it benefits the shop owners who will make more
sales. Note that cubes can already be recharged by another cube, just not when
the recharging cube is located in the shop.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Allow a customer's cube to be recharged from a shop's
 cube

The way it is now prevents unscrupulous shopkeepers from buying up all the
recharges and marking them up for resale in their own shop, which ultimatly
hurts customers. I think we're fairly good at rooting out and ostracizing such
people, but it's something to consider.

Easy enough to just make it so a person can only do 1,000 charges per weave (no
matter which cube(s) they are filling, there is a cap of 1,000 charges). This
means any reasonable person can fill up their cube as needed, but there is a
limitation on trying to suck up all the charges- even if you try, the people you
buy out can just fill their cubes up faster than you can drain 'em.

You know, even 1000 seems high for a cap to prevent that sort of thing. Why not
go lower, as in half that?

Supported. I don't think it's terribly likely that charges would be bought out
by people and resold. It may cause the price of charges to increase but in a way
the product would be more useful (able to charge more things) so it makes sense.

While Enyalida has a fair point, that really isn't any different than herbs or
any other commodity. Eventually the market should even out. I'd also point out
that shopkeeper can block individuals from shopping and even should the reseller
use a third party the original shopkeeper can use a shoplog to police their own
sales. Because of those things I don't think there's a huge need for additional
protections.
