Spellcasting Services

You may pay an NPC to cast a spell for you according to normal pathfinder pricing.  The cost to have a spell cast for you is equal to spell level x caster level x 10g plus any material component.  For instance, if you wanted an NPC to cast a reincarnate spell for you, the price would be spell level (4) x caster level (7) x 10g, or 280g PLUS the 1000g material component of the spell.  The total price would be 1280g.
You may pay a PC to cast a spell for you as well.  The cost of this service is 75% of the cost to have an NPC cast the spell, plus any material component. For instance, if you wanted a PC to cast a reincarnate spell for you, the price would be 75% of the spell level (4) x caster level (7) x 10g, or 210g PLUS the 1000g material component of the spell.  The total price would be 1210g. This price must be paid, and may not be reduced by either the caster, or the recipient.
A PC caster keeps all of the profit, but this type of spellcasting is considered to be downtime income- ie, the amount of gold you earn is limited by your level per week as listed in the downtime rules.  (As with any downtime earnings, any profit in excess of this is not lost.  Instead it is kept separate and can be used for downtime purposes, including purchasing capital and building rooms and buildings, and even hiring PCs to complete a mission.)
The price and material components required for a spell are always used when a PC casts a spell for another PC in this way- even if the casting PC has a class feature or ability that modifies the cost in some other way. (The caster need not actually pay the cost of a material component that is not actually needed due to such a feature or ability, but the price remains the same nonetheless)
The only exception to the above rules is if the caster is currently in a party with the recipient of the spell, and the effect must be one which occurred during that mission.  (For instance, a caster could cast remove disease on a party member who contracted a disease at no charge during the mission they both are on together, but the caster could not cast something like permanency on a party member just because they are on the same mission at less than 75% of the customary cost of the spell.)
